Hello all,
I don't know how many of you knew that the first shipping Atari ST's did not have TOS in ROM. They came with a TOS - Start Disk if you will. I had only read about it but somebody posted a neat video of how the Atari cold booted and asked for a TOS Disk.
You can see it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1jscTrkeso&feature=relatedI have to admit it was more colorful than the Amiga 1000 Kickstart Hand Screen. Atari referred to the TOS disk as a System Disk which I thought was interesting...if not confusing for the user. System Disk?? TOS Disk seems more accurate.
Anyway, the video shows that and the ST Tour Program (though I don't care about the Tour).
I thought it was cool as I had never seen it before so I hope you do too!
Cheers!
