Thanks for all the information. If I can buy CROSSDOS separately I think that that is what I'll do.

Purchasing the WorkBench 2.1 upgrade is a much better choice, and costs less also.

If CROSSDOS is only $35 where do I find the WB 2.1 upgrade for less than that?

crossdos is usually about $45 and the 2.1 upgrade is much more than just cross dos. it adds functionality to the enviroment and more extensive outline font support and asl.reqestors and lots more for the money. and is around $45 mail order. look at some ads. like grapewine.

I wouldn't trust Grapevine. They advertise great prices, but they have yet to have the items in stock when I've ordered. In fact, I've had my 2.1 upgrade on order for over a MONTH now, with no word from them. They constantly claim "backorder problems", and say "if you need it any time soon, buy it from someone else". I'm just about ready to do just that. Problem is, Grapevine is the only company advertising that they carry the new 2.05 chip. I'm giving them one more week before I *permanently* take my business elsewhere.

I think I missed something here..I've never had a 'blem with Grapevine (when i ordered 2.1 it took a few weeks and I wanted it the the next day but…) Robb

Imagine getting THOUSANDS or orders for that in a month. You would be on back order for it too. After all…companies must wait for the items to arrive. I assure you that there are literally thousands of items on back order from Commodore. However, if you must insist on blaming Grapevine, you may feel free to do so. That is your prerogative. I'd suggest calling the office, asking for Mona, and seeing just how far you are down on the list on that item. Have a pleasant day. <Z>
