SpartaDOS is a completely different command-line DOS modelled after MS-DOS, though it is perfectly capable of reading all Atari DOS and MyDOS disks. There are many versions available. Hopefully this list will help keep them all straight. SpartaDOS X is further developed via the [SpartaDOS X Upgrade Project|http://sdx.atari8.info/index.php]\\

__Hint: In emulators please choose: 'No PBI Expansion', otherwise SpartaDOS may not work correct.__\\

!! SpartaDOS 3.2g and 3.2gx - Dated 6/4/94.
Last official disk-based versions, released as shareware by Fine Tooned
Engineering (FTe), who had purchased the rights from ICD. 3.2g is the primary
version; 3.2gx differs only in that it locates the disk buffers under the OS
to save RAM. 3.2gx is intended for use in systems that include a PBI device
(MIO, Black Box); it is not compatible with BASIC XE or any other programs
using RAM under the OS.
First shareware release from FTe: 3.2f.
Earlier major releases from the original developer, ICD: 3.2d, 3.2c, 2.3, 1.1
Only the SDX cartridges and the original version 1.1 are compatible with the
400/800 computer models; SpartaDOS 2.x, and 3.x require an XL/XE.
Many disk-based SpartaDOS versions are available for download here,

!!SpartaDOS Pro 3.3a, 3.3b, and 3.3c - 1994-
The SpartaDOS Pro 3.3 versions were developed by Stephen J. Carden, based upon
a dissembled copy of the older (more stable?) 3.2c release from ICD.
* SpartaDOS Pro Ver 3.3a 3-Nov-94 -- Added MUX support and MS-DOS Commands. Highspeed SIO routines NOT included. Recommended for use in emulators (especially Xformer) only.
* SpartaDOS Pro Ver 3.3b 25-Dec-95 -- Has two different SIOV handlers, one for the MUX and one for the MIO.
* SpartaDOS Pro Ver 3.3c 1995 -- Looks at your system and by checking it determines what CIO handler to load, and has MS-DOS command set. Black Box, MUX, and MIO are fully supported, though none of these are required.
* SpartaDOS Pro Ver 3.3c 19-Dec-97 -- the same 3.3c produced on a 16K ROM cartridge by Video 61.
* SpartaDOS Pro Ver 3.3d -- exists, but is not in general release
According to Lance Ringquist:
K-Products contracted FTe to develop SpartaDOS Pro 3.3 for exclusive use and
distribution with K-Products' BBS Express! Pro, to provide this BBS system
with the most stable platform possible. As Video 61 now owns the rights to
BBS Express! Pro, SpartaDOS Pro 3.3 is therefore now a product of Video 61.
According to Stephen Carden:
The SpartaDOS Pro 3.3 versions were never owned by K-Products, and are
technically shareware owned by FTe, although FTe had no connection with the
specific development of the 3.3 versions.
!!SpartaDOS X (SDX) cartridge

different source code. Several versions produced:
