GEOS V1.3 will run under The 64 Emulator II on an Amiga.
This is a commercial program from Readysoft, not A64.

Directly connect a real 1541 with the adapter cable.
Disable the RAM disk (1764 emulation) while booting, but
then it can use Amiga RAM as a 1764.     .....BJ

There is geoForth for GEOS (available from Milton FTP). Although I am

This belongs in a FAQ list.  No, you cannot read Commodore disks on an IBM
compatible- Completely different formats.  You can, however, get software
which will read/write IBM diskettes on you commodore. (Big Blue Reader,
I think is available from most FTP sites.)

Actually the 1541, even at its slowest, transfers data at about 3000
baud, so it's still faster to read off the disk.  :)

While I won't completely rule out the possibility, I will say that it is very
very unlikely that such a thing can be done, and in any event it wouldn't be
practical.  The basic problem is, the C= computers and the IBM computers use a
different central processor.  In principle, one could emulate the IBM
processor in software, but the C= computers aren't fast enough to do that
reasonably.  When you emulate an IBM on the Amiga, you actually add hardware
that includes the IBM's central processor.

What you can do is read MS-DOS disks, with CrossLink, or the Big Blue Reader.
However, you won't be able to run any IBM programs.

Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1992 18:17:34 GMT

Hello, I have a few problems with my flat c128, and maybe someone knows what
to do.  They basically have to do with video problems.
1.) In 40 -columns mode (in both 128 and 64 modes), occasionally I will get
a character or two of the text coming out in a different color.  It
doesn't happen in the same locations or colors, and sometimes it doesn't
happen at all.  In game-playing graphics mode, the colors get all messed
up in a number of locations.  Is the screen memory located normally in the
64k ram chips or in the two 4416's?  Since these chips are all soldered in,
replacement , or testing, is not easy.
2.) In maybe a similar vein, when booting the machine in 80-column mode,
the characters generated are unreadable.  It looks like a couple dots  have
disappeared, or gotten displaced.  The general shape is there, but you
can't read it.  When running geos128 in graphics mode, however, there is
no problem.  Is the character set contained solely in the 8563 chip, or
could the video memory chips be bad?  (also, who sells a 8563 lately? old
sources don't sell commodore stuff much anymore)

Any ideas or firm knowledge would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Really? I can't get kermit to work very well here, but novaterm
does reasonably well.  For reasons which are  obscure
to me, novaterm works perfectly ONLY after logging into one of
the HP workstations (HPUX which is System V ish) but is kinda
flaky if I have only logged into the Ultrix machines (BSDish
Unix).  I can only presume that it has something to do with the
difference between termcap and terminfo.  But once I've logged
in to the HP, it works fine on the Ultrix stations. If anyone
knows the reason for this, feel free to let me know.

Anyhow, novaterm9.3 and kermit are both available from
milton.u.washington.edu in the directory:
/public/download/c64now/telecom 

Now, if Novaterm only did tektronix emulation like kermit
does...

It is a 3-D mouse type system for any computer with a serial port (Commodore

The 1571 drive can use GCR or MFM encoding, which means it has the

Big Blue Reader is actually a commercial program (and a very good one), so it
is not available at FTP sites.  What is available, at milton.u.washington.edu
(among others) is crosslink.  Crosslink runs in native 128 mode, and can read
and write files up to 43K (although see the next hacking mag...) to 5.25"
MS-DOS disks with a 1571.  BBR has no file size limitation that I am aware of,
and can both read and write 5.25" MS-DOS disks with a 1571 and 3.5" MS-DOS
disks with a 1581.

All offers are welcome.  I've made a wild guess at what they might be
worth, but feel free to send me your offer, even if its considerably
lower.  If something is worth more than the listed guess, interested
parties could offer more than my weak guess.  Listed figures are not
binding, and items will be sold to the person with the highest offer.
I'm willing to wait a week or so to verify the true worth of these
items.  Shipping is not included.  Thanks very much,
