Charles Marslett, MYDOS and FastChip
Charles Marslett wrote floppy disk and hard drive drivers for
Percom, and was the creator of MYDOS, a disk operating system for
the Atari 8-bit computers that offered support for double density
sectors, subdirectories, and hard drives. He also created FastChip,
a hardware add-on for the Atari, sold by Newell Industries, that
claimed to speed up floating point routines by 300%. He also
created the A65 Assembler, a macro assembler. He has released the
source code for MYDOS and FastChip.
