Product Overview

JiffyDOS is a Disk Operating System (DOS) enhancement which gives your C-64 or C-128 the disk access speed it has always needed. A chip-for-chip replacement for the Kernal ROM in your computer and the DOS ROM in your disk drive(s), JiffyDOS achieves levels of performance and compatibility unmatched by other disk speed-enhancement products. Outstanding speed, solid compatibility with virtually all hardware and software, and a new set of desperately-needed commands and features, gives your system a new lease on life and the power to compete with today's newer, more-expensive machines.

JiffyDOS should not be confused with Cartridges, Turbo ROMs, Burst ROMs or "Parallel" systems. Ultra-high-speed multi-line serial technology enables JiffyDOS to outperform these products without any of their inherent disadvantages. JiffyDOS leaves all ports on your computer open, works with virtually all software, speeds up PRG, SEQ, REL and USR files, and does not require any extra cabling. Owning JiffyDOS also gives you access to some of the best product support available.

Instructions Manuals are provided online only and are available here: http://www.jbrain.com/pub/cbm/manuals/JiffyDOS/.  Please download the appropriate set when ordering. 

This product is the actual ROM IC that replaces the DOS or KERNAL ROM IC in your CBM unit.  The unit comes preprogrammed with the correct version of JiffyDOS.

If you are just looking for the ROM image files, they are available here.

NOTE:  Our stock fluctuates, so there could be a delay in shipping orders including those JiffyDOS products. You may also check out www.go4retro.com/products/JiffyDOS for other suppliers.

    Quality Product

    Posted by Zenemu on 23rd Feb 2014

    I order Jiffydos for all my Commodore machines and disk drives from Retro Innovations. I live in Europe, and find the products fantastic quality, quick delivery and very reasonable postage costs. Jim Brain, owner of retro innovations has always provided excellent customer service and is always happy to answer any questions, and usually does so very quickly. Highly recommended.

    Installed and it works great. JiffyDos is what all Commodore drives should have already had as the stock rom, as good as it works!!

    Fantastic speed

    Super chip to make your life easier. One draw back for me is that I loose my Swedish characters on the keyboard as they are replased by the US key map.

    A must have for Commodore fans

    This is simply a must have if you're purchasing an uIEC, and still great if you're still using your original CBM drives. The speed improvement is remarkable, and will leave you wondering how you managed to live without it for all these years. :)
