How to install IBM Schoolview/Iclass on Windows 98 or Dos.

Hello everyone, I have a copy of IBM Schoolview and Iclass. I wonder how to install this software. I am using Windows 98 for all my PC / GEOS programs and work. I'm wondering if I can install a Microsoft-DOS machine or Windows 98. If you have questions about any PC / GEOS programs or My Brother Geobook NB-80c prototype 486 with different user interfaces, then Yago or Nike. Or Zoomer, HP information etc. etc. Please let me know. GEOS programs
I only speak English.

Hi yes I have an official 486 prototype that got from Frank S Fischer. He gave to me before he passed away. it looks like a a regular Geobook NB-80C but it has a different UI then any other geobook that was made and has a lot of software on it that was not released to the public. it also is marked on the box as a prototype. If you would like pictures I can take them so that the form can Geos-infobase can see it Also what is EPA contact information for help I need to install schoolview yes I have everything that came with schoolview. I am new to this form and don't know everything about the how to use the form yet. I also have Franks personal Zoomer and other GEOS software/devices that he gave me. We where very close friends.

Hi Jörg:
[size=10]I am having trouble uploading the pictures of the Geobook 486. The form software keeps saying they are too big as attachments and I cannot copy and paste them. Is there an e-mail address that I can send them too? I want everyone to see the pictures.[/size]

Hi!

You can find EPA's contact-info on the "info-sheet" here on the forum:
http://www.geos-infobase.de/WBB_317/index.…e=User&userID=7
It'll look like this:

You can send him a "personal note" (PN) here on the forum or an email. When sending an email, please remember to set the "yes, use my private email-address as sender" - like this:

(Of course this will only work when EPA and you have entered valid email-addresses.)

And yes, we want to see photos of the GeoBook-protoype!

Hi Everyone: This is the original email regarding the Geobook 486 that I got from Frank when he gave me the Geobook 486 enjoy!

Subject: NB-80C interface

Now that I think of it, the interface of the 486 NB-80C I sent you
is a proto-type and different from a regular GeoBook. So you've got a very rare
GeoBook on it's way, plus it's a 486. All others are 386..

Yes I can send you a copy of the ISO however I would like to get Schoolview up and running on my computer. Is it possible that you could send me a virtual Hard disk drive file with Netware and Schoolview already installed and ready to go as I will not be able to make it to the meeting as I live in the USA and I don't know how to setup schoolview and Netware by myself. Please provide me with your email so I can send you the ISO.

Dear all,

If we could have an ISO-Image of the School View install disk, it would be a nice challenge to get this thing running at the next meeting in Syhra. I have got a Compaq notebook that still contains a running installation of Netware 3.12

Thomas

The Schoolview ISO sent you has an (ICLAS) installer included with it the only thing I it done not have is the Netware Software.

Dear Brett,

as stated in the installation instruction linked in the other posts, the folling components are required:

• One Copy of PC-DOS 7.00 or MS-DOS.
• One Copy of Netware 3.12 or Netware ELS Version 2.15
• One Copy of BASICMHS for Netware Mail Integration
• One Copy of NetView Netware Management
• One Copy of IBM Classroom LAN Administration System (ICLAS) 1.30 or 1.50.

The 'PMBA ¨ Specific UI' is the thing that all the special features of this GEOS version like the diffent launchers (Login, K2 Shell, BA Workplace Shell) are around and it is closely linked to ICLAS (and its GEOS library). This means without a proper ICLAS installation SchollView (and its components) will not work at all

Hi,

the Netware part was more easy than expected. It runs well in a current QEmu 2.6 VM under Windows 10 x64.

Code

qemu-system-i386.exe -m 16 -L ..\Bios -hda server.qc2 -device ne2k_isa,mac=00:2e:3c:92:11:01,netdev=mynet0,irq=10,iobase=0x320 -netdev "tap,ifname=Ethernet,id=mynet0"

The PC-DOS 7 installation also was not a challenge and I able to login from the client into the server that is connected via 2 bridged TAP devices.

Code

qemu-system-i386.exe -m 16 -L ..\Bios -hda ws.qc2 -device ne2k_isa,mac=00:2e:3c:92:11:02,netdev=mynet0,irq=10,iobase=0x320 -netdev "tap,ifname=Ethernet 2,id=mynet0"

BUT

I'm sorry to repead this, but I still don't know how to do the ICLAS base setup. There is no 5 disk install set contining a 'G.BAT' file on the first disk as mentioned in the ICLAS admin blog. All install sets sem to be SV related and are depending on a working ICLAS installation (serveral files an folders on the NW server and also some special users accounts etc.). There are just some folders containing files that have been cpied from an working ICLAS server that I restored into my installation. But after login I still get an error message.

And the beast has more than two heads...KR-07 SV and even the most recent BBE 4.1.3 isn't working on the client at the moment. So my question:

Has anyone used GEOS with a recent QEmu 2.6/Weiss jemand, ob GEOS zusammen mit einer neueren QEmu-Version funktioniert?
