I guess to be accurate, NEWDOS is actually not just a patched verion of TS-DOS. It is actually a re-assembly of it. I had fully disassembled TS-DOS into a file that can be re-assemled by VirtualT. I then added features to it, including detection of running on VirtualT, fixing the DISK scroll bug, adding programmable delay, and ignoring DSR.
Reviewing the code and reminding myself what I did in 2014, I had actually added an F7 key hander (non-DISK mode) to provide a UI interface for setting the delay factor directly within NEWDOS. But it has no place to save this delay factor ... just useful for easily dialing in a delay factor that can be used in a BASIC call.
