	The current version of LDOS is 5.3. The previous version was 5.1.4. The
   new version is being shipped now. To get a copy send $24.95 + $2 (S&H in US)
   to
		MISOSYS, Inc.
		P.O. box 239
		Sterling, VA 22170-0239

	 They just started shipping the new release this month, January. It
   solves the date problem and all sorts of new stuff has been added. LSI
   has released the Model 4 counter-part for Model 4's, check a recent issue of
   80-Micro if you have a model 4 and need the 6.3 operating system. It appears
   Tandy is going to stay out of the upgrades so you'll have to order from
   Misosys or LSI directly. When you order LDOS 5.3 ask for Misosys's catalog,
   Misosys has the best utility and language/os software for the Model 3/4
   bar none. I've gotten disassemblers, assemblers, compilers and utilitys
   from them and have had no problems at all; they maintain their software
   and keep improving it as well. Misosys is one of the few companys that
   didn't abandon the 1/3/4 line when Tandy decided to drop the Z80 line.
