Rex Dos OC118...

I have an Ocean OC118 (aka Excelerator+) with a "Rex Dos" rom inside...
Even if it works on a stock machine, i would like to understand if there is a special c64-side rom, with which the drive can be used... (Like Jiffy dos or something).
Does anyone know anything about it?

”According to this site the Rex Dos rom seems to be part of a parallel speeder kit similar to Speed Dos, so you would need a parallel cable and a matching kernal rom to make it load stuff significantly faster.” From a Lemon thread.

Ok, thanks...
I see 3 models of cables:
- DOS-Kabel (Rex 9795)
- DOS-Kabel (Version 2)
- Floppy 1541 Parallel-Kabel (Rex 9535)
which all seems to be SpeedDos/RexDos compatible.

But... the C64 Eprom to use?
Could be the Exos V3?

I have this one in my EasyFlash and seems to speed up normal 1541 drive without any Parallel Cable/RexDos chip inside...
Could be faster with parallel-cabled OC118?

I need to look inside the drive... but i think the OC118 have the 6522 soldered directly to motherboard... and i have no intention of unsoldering it (Warranty may be lost =P ).
