# MAX DOS: A Study of DUAL DOS in the TS-2068

For several weeks UPDATE has been testing two simultaneous disk operating systems in the TS-2068: the Oliger SAFE DOS and the Larken DOS. The hardware hook-up is the full “two board” Oliger system and the Larken LKDOS cartridge in the dock port. Extensive operation with the combination has revealed an almost complete compatibility between the two systems. The only incompatibilities are minor and will be discussed.
