__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
JiffyDOS is a Disk Operating System (DOS) enhancement which gives
your C-64 or C-128 the disk access speed it has always needed. A
chip-for-chip replacement for the Kernal ROM in your computer and the
DOS ROM in your disk drive(s), JiffyDOS achieves levels of performance
and compatibility unmatched by other disk speed-enhancement products.
Outstanding speed, solid compatibility with virtually all hardware and
software, and a new set of desperately-needed commands and features,
gives your system a new lease on life and the power to compete with
today's newer, more-expensive machines.
JiffyDOS should not be
confused with Cartridges, Turbo ROMs, Burst ROMs or "Parallel" systems.
Ultra-high-speed multi-line serial technology enables JiffyDOS to
outperform these products without any of their inherent disadvantages.
JiffyDOS leaves all ports on your computer open, works with virtually
all software, speeds up PRG, SEQ, REL and USR files, and does not
require any extra cabling. Owning JiffyDOS also gives you access to some
of the best product support available.
I will send a link to the instruction manual once you have purchased the ROM chip via eBay messages.
This product is the actual ROM IC that replaces the DOS or KERNAL ROM IC in your CBM unit. The unit comes preprogrammed with the correct version of JiffyDOS.
**NOTE: In order to take advantage of JiffyDOS functionality, you need a ROM in both the drive and the C64/128/SX64. Also, you CAN have the JiffyDOS ROM in your 1541/71/81 and operate under the normal operating system, you will simply not get the fast load and features of JiffyDOS until the system ROM is in place.
