So, hallo! PiGeos-1.1-1 habe ich heruntergeladen , auf USB-Stick geschrieben und gestartet.

Erste Frage: Welches Image sollte man am besten hernehmen von denen, die da reichlich vorgeschlagen werden?
0: Pi/GEOS Ensemble 6.0 EN (habe ich gewählt)
1-3: blueway.softworks Ensemble 6.0 (CI-Issue:149 EN; 6.0 CI-latest DE; 6.0 CI-latest EN)
4: Breadbox Ensemble 4.02 Demo
5: GeoWorks Ensembel Working Model 1.2
6: Geoworks Publish 2.01 (Shareware) - ist das nur ein Teilprogramm?
7: New Deal Office 3.2 DE (Testversion)

2. Nach dem Starten ist das Bild "langgezogen", wohl 4:3 auf 1920x1080 TFT. - Wie komme ich da zu einer 4:3 Auflösung bzw. was *ist* denn die richtig Auflösung?
Mit Ctrl+F9 bin ich auf das Setup-Tool, habe in raspi-config bei display-config 1024x768 (DMT Mode 16) eingestellt, das hat aber nichts gebracht für Pi/GEOS Ensemble.
Wie geht's?

3. Wie kann ich *nach* der Installation, *nach* der Auswahl der GEOS-Version noch (8) das DOS Fun Pack für Pi/GEOS herunterladen bzw. einbinden?

4. Frage nach einem Handbuch:
Ich habe mir, woher immer, heruntergeladen:
- BBE_MAN.ZIP mit den Dateien Breadbox_Ensemble_-_Teil1..3.pdf
- bbxens413.zip 8,6MB, das scheint aber die ganze Anwendung zu sein, hat .bat- und exe-Dateien
- ENS20BOOK1(+2)_small.pdf - das sind eingescannte Handbücher "Ensemble 2.0 User Guide Book 1+2 von GeoWorks, knapp 400 bzw. 650 Seiten, Scan
- G-Mobil + G-Mobil2.pdf - das sind nur kurze Infos 2/3 Seiten DIN A4 von 06/2009.
Oder gibt es etwas Besseres zum Einlesen?

Das wären die ersten Fragen für die PiGEOS RPi-Einrichtung.

Hi,

I will answer you in English, hope you can translate it to German. Regarding the "streched" video resolutions, this is depending in the Video BIOS in your computer. If there is no 4:3 resolutions (640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768 VESA resolutions) in the Video BIOS, then the screen image will be "streched" to match the screen size. You need to get a BIOS extender that works with your Video Bios to fix this, it might be hard to find? Have you tried a matching Geos resolution?

To all Geos users at this forum!

Date noted, but I have to get a new calendar but noted in my Geos calendar.

Hello Hans,

I don't know yet whether I'll be able to attend the meeting—it's not entirely clear yet. So that's no problem. Let's look forward to next year!

Mario

Yes, great and bad at the same time. Great that we can do it the next year, bad that I cant attend and that you are not sure, yet. Hope for next year.

I am sorry to say that I can not attend the meeting this year, as I have to help my son to move. He has got a new job in Örebro, some 200 kms away, and the move will happen the same weekend that the meeting takes place. I am happy for my son, but unhappy to not attend the meeting.

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,

Hans

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,

Hans

I can help with the English texts. Checking the Program names, grammar and so on.

Hi,

wer es testen will: hier ist Version ohne Titel-Grafik.

Rainer

I have tested it and it works! No crashes so far.

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.

Have you tried fs = ntfat.geo?

HiHi. es gibt den kompletten Absatz CI-Latest grad mal nicht.....

Falk have fixed it, since a couple of days ago. There are some stray hex-numbers, and it looks a bit different, but CI-latest is available....

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?

What is the command to exit the opendos session in Ens1.2 Working model?

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

I have found the error, it is the Rpi B+, it does not work with PiGeos. Case closed
