IS-DOS & More

ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Nickolay O. Zabrodotsky To All 10 June 1999

Hello people!
I have one question.
What is happening with IS-DOS now?
Is its further development realistic?
In ZX.SPECTRUM there was some kind of appeal from someone there to the people, but would you
be so kind as to explain in human terms.
Did the system die or what?
And in general, is there any text or an Internet address with a fact or a review
about the OS for ZX living in Russia?

Thank you

The GMD-130 lies on the disks, gathering dust.

The system has now become incompatible with itself due to the new disk format
in is-dos'98.

It depends on who.
Personally, I now have to use it quite a lot - the mailer is under it. :(
Yes, and I’m working with the screw there.


All the best.
Sincerely, Roman.

Sorry for the ignorance... So what kind of format is it?

KF> Kirill Frolov.

With respect, Alex Noman.

The disk name has increased to 11 characters and there are problems with the directories.
