with NDelaySolve.m
k0 = 1; k1 = 1.7; tau = 1;
f = k1 x[t](1 - x[t - tau]/k0) ;
tlimit = 200;
sol = NDelaySolve[{x'[t] == k1 x[t](1 - x[t - tau]/k0) }, {x[t] ==
0.01}, {t, 0, 200}];
Plot[Evaluate[x[t] /. sol ], {t, 0, 200}];
seems to work better than NDelayDSolve.
look at your original post for the NDelaySolve code.
