I have some material ready for your use and test.
a. First I am resending the DOS/65 V2.02 MONITOR .zip package. All the other software assumes that is the ROM rather than an OSI or other ROM. The documentation previously provided shows that after doing a reset the system can be booted by typing "Q". The ROM file is placed in the WinOSI folder and then specified in the configuration. HINT: Never power up or power down the system with floppies in a drive and with the door closed.
b. The file DOS65V2images.zip has two hex raw dump files for V2.1. After extracting them from the zip file convert them to binary disk images using tools distributed as part of WinOSI. Suggest file A become drive A and file B become drive B.
c. If you use RAWDUMP V1.01 it is essential that after use the system be reset with a cold boot. The current warm boot does not get the system working correctly. I am working on a fix and expect to have that tested in a couple of days.
Next message will have the V3 image. Remember that all the V2.1 utilities will work fine on V3.02.
