     Actually, yes, ick; or at least maybe. I've seen one, but it had been
copied incorrectly and didn't work. It was set up originally (so says our
theory) as a bootable floppy with many blocks of code stored OUTSIDE of
files. At one point in the distribution - presumably right before it got
to us - someone filecopied it, and that was that.
     It's an Australian hack, boots on a 68000 or 68020, and is specifically
public domain. It requires a bootable TOS disk to get started - I presume
this includes TOSbench, or whatever they call it. (TOS disks can be purchased
from local Atari dealers, if you've got one.) It will, according to its doc
file, boot most game floppies as well.
                                                       - R'ykandar.
