It's 800xl compatible _if_ you expand the memory, which IIRC was 64K
standard in the 65xe but 128K (or bigger...) in the 800xl. However, you
shouldn't have any problem running dos 2.5, which I own and can make you
copies for if you don't mind waiting for the weekend... as I don't have
time tor re-assemble my 800 until then.
