POOLFIX3
Description: There is a rare bug in Rainbow TOS (1.4) and STe TOS (1.6) involving the way GEMDOS handles its internal memory. You probably have never seen this bug, and if you use this patch program, you never will.

SERPTCH2
Description: All versions of Mega STe TOS and TT TOS up to 2.05/3.05 have code in the BIOS to communicate using the MFP and SCC serial ports. They all share a few problems. The program SERPTCH2.PRG fixes all of these problems.

Y2K_FIX v0.9
Description: Fixes Year-2000 Bug and problems with SCSI-clocks. Y2K-Fix sets XBIOS-clock 20 years back. When reading, it adds 20 Years. Gemdos will set, too.

FATSPEED
Description: This replaces the slow Atari FAT routine, and greatly accelerates writes to the hard disk. Strongly recommend to anyone with a hard disk and a version of TOS lower than 1.4. TOS 1.4 has a rewritten FAT lookup routine that fixes this problem. (Don't use FATSPEED with TOS 1.4 and up).
