Subj: TS-DOS/BOOSTER PAK ORDER

Rick -

I received the TS-DOS ROM shipment you sent.  It works GREAT!  Now I don't have
to use TS-DOS from disk anymore.  I was very hapily surprised to find out that
even turning "DOS-ON" so that it can be used from BASIC, no RAM is allocated
for the purpose..

I do have a question:  The ad mentions a cold-start recovery program, but I've
failed to find any such animal on the ROM, nor mention of it in the
documentation.  Is this a TRS-80 Model 100 exclusive feature?  Just curious, as
a cold-start recovery utility built into ROM is something I would really enjoy.


Thanks,

Gary.

P.S.  No hurry on the Booster-Pak.  The Model 100 I'm going to be installing
this on needs a new backup battery, as well as 24K more RAM.  (It's only an 8K
machine, and I'm fearing that the Booster-Pak won't operate with it unless it's
brought up to 32K.   Is this a true assumption?)
