    Good morning Hans. I would be interested in this old technology. I'm still annoyed that I haven't kept any of the PCs from my childhood. So I don't have a PC with ISA slots. So if no one else wants it, I'd be very happy to take it. Something like that should never be thrown away.

    Hello Bario,

    I am sorry to tell you that I will not be able to come to the meeting this year. My son got a new job some 200 km away, and I need to help him move and put up a new home, the same weekend as the meeting takes place. The offer of the PC still stands, if you want it. I can bring it to the meeting, next year.

    Best Regards,

    Hans

    Send it by PM in this forum.

    I have checked the addressbook file you sent me and the text looks good. Some headlines looks a bit brief compared to the ones I have compared in the original help file in Breadbox Ensemble. There are differences in wording, but the meaning is still the same, except that the app was prevoiusly called Addressbook, now it is called Contacts.

    I have a proposal, would it not be simpler and less work to start with the original help files in English and apply the corrections there, like name changes and refinement of the language, and in some cases the addtion of new features? Still, I will help you in proof reading and so on.

    BR,

    OK, Hans. I will send you a re-translated GeoWrite helpfile. How can I send it to you? By mail? Then let me know your mailadress

    Good idea! I can compare it to the Writer helpfile in Breadbox Ensemble and maybe we can do some productive work. I will be busy the coming days, but after that I will jave the time. How can I send you my email address?

    BR,

    I have no input to give for now, other than I have been struggling with the Icon Editor and experienced crashes, losing work, and have not been able to figure out ways how to work and in what order. I have never understood what was a bug and a feature. I probably understand that getting a KR-09 is a bug or close to :)

    A good thing would be to have a help file with the Icon Editor, to with for something.

    I can add that Gonzo, english version, also crashes with KR-09, intermittently. Tested both with fs drivers os2.geo and ntfat.geo and there is no difference in the fs drivers, it crashes any way.

    I have noticed that there is no icon in the taskbar if the launcher is made by an icon created by Iconmake. This is pretty evident as there is no tool icon in the icon made by Iconmake. Instead of an icon, there is the name of the launcher in the taskbar. Looks pretty ugly, in my opinion. Would be great to test what happens if the icon also have a tool icon.

    Thanks, for all the input. Okay, then I understand why.it does not work, no problem.

    I happy to run Geos 1.2, thanks again :)

    I have noticed another issue, during the boot I get the message that drive U: is mounted, but there is no U: available in Ensemble 1.2, neither in DOS. What am I doing wrong? I have tried small usb memories, 256 MB, but it does not work. Should the memory be smaller? Or can you give me an hint what to do to mount a drive that will be accessable in DOSBox, or even in 1.2?

    I have tested PiGeos with Pi 3B+ and Zero 2W and they works well with PiGeos. So, I guess these are the lowest entry point hardware wise, to run PiGeos?

    PiGeos does not work with:

    Raspberry Pi B+

    Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3

    Raspberry Pi Zero W v1.1

    Have not found any thread googling the problem. When investigating the problem: There is no dosbox-session.conf created. When I investigated the pigeos-loader script:

    Line 19 is about [autoexec] section.

    Line 21 is about loading the hd-image.

    Line 43 is about loading keyboard driver

    Line 44 is about call autoexec.bat

    Could it be a problem with the Ensemble 1.2 image?

    I was a bit unclear, it is two different rpi, the 3b+ works, well.

    The second one is a B+ and this is the one I planned to use for Ensemble 1.2, due to lesser performance. I have already reinstalled it, twice. I have not touched anything, except installing the 1.2 from the menu. Maybe the problem is that is a B+ and a older hardware with a different OS configuration? My guess is similar as yours, sounds like a permission error, as everything I can think of to check, looks correct.

    Hopeless case, the doctor cried.....

    I will try to google the problem.

    I dont know if you are still developing pigeos? One wish from me would be to add an option to boot to dos prompt in DOSBox directly, if possible?

    I had an issue with the graphics driver in my pi and the 7 inch screen and the 800x480 resolution. It is impossible to edit the geos.ini to resolve the issue as geos.ini is embedded in the hdd-img file. However, I managed to resolve it by adding a monitor that supported the default 1024x768 and the wanted 800x480, so everything works now at viable speed.

    As a sidenote, I prefer to have a folder mapped as a drive, as this folder is accessable in unix (pi os) and as a drive in DOSBox. I understand that there is advantages to have a image file to avoid file corruption. Just my point of view
