Brian,

The “4” was misleading. It is just the way that the font looks. It just says 
Disk+, not sure what version but it is probably the 2.0 that you have. What is 
really odd is everything I have read about it so far says it came on cassettes 
and nothing about an option ROM at all.

I wouldn’t have any grief about dumping what I have, though. I don’t imagine 
anyone is lacking the Interactive Solutions ROM that I also have?

I am actually more excited that I have the custom carriers for the option ROMs 
than the ROMs themselves. Ultimately I am looking to build my own custom option 
ROM as I have an end use for this in mind that will give it a relatively single 
purpose.

I have a Disk+ 2.0 rom I dumped here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bys6eLbSbYyhU01uYjFYNnpkTmM

I would be interested in that "4" version. It can be dumped via software 
from the 100 using ROM2S

http://www.club100.org/memfiles/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Steve%20Adolph/ROM2S

Does anyone have the host side of this? The description in that ad 
sounds like a modified DOS bootable TPDD emulator, or had versions for 
various machines not just ms-dos. Modified at least in so far as using 
.SD in place of .<> for instance.

I did try the Disk+2.0 rom with a real TPDD2 and it didn't work. At the 
time I didn't have a TPDD1 and I just assumed maybe it predates TPDD2 
and only works with TPDD1. I have a TPDD1 now and should try it just to 
see, but now it looks like maybe it didn't work because it's using it's 
own protocol?
