Besides the Osborne DD upgrade, Nuevo Electronics has a proven one too.
Stay away from anything made by a company called Osmosis, they are
famous for their lemons. Your DD upgrade should come with a new ROM
since the old one doesn't know about DD, so that solves your other
problem. I have the Nuevo DD upgrade and BIOS in my O-1 (a blue case
model) and Turbo Pascal runs just fine on it. Make sure you tell them
you have an older model Osborne, the upgrade is different for it.

By the way, you would do well to get in touch with your local Osborne
users' group; now that Osborne has gone under that may be your only
resource for the machine. Also becoming a member of FOG (First Osborne
Group) is very worthwhile. If you can't find a local group send me a
message, I might be able to help.

Enjoy!
