ADOS was developed by [[Art Flexser]].

It came in three versions:
* ADOS for the CoCo 1 and 2
* ADOS 3 for the CoCo 3
* Extended ADOS 3 for the CoCo 3

It was 100% compatible with RS-DOS if you didn't need to patch Disk BASIC, and added features to Disk BASIC, noteably 40 and 80 track drive support.

ADOS came on a disk, and could be loaded into the CoCo, or you could customize ADOS, program an EPROM, and use the EPROM as your disk ROM, therefore booting your CoCo with ADOS.

This was a neat, because many users then set their CoCos to boot with the 80 column screen.

It also ran the CoCo at double-speed, even during disk and printer I/O, featured auto line numbering, arrow scroll through listings, auto edit of errors, macros, etc.

Extended ADOS 3 added things like parellel printer output (assuming you had the right hardware), wildcard filenames, and a RAMdisk.

This was arguably the most popular modified Disk BASIC used with the CoCo.
