|  Good news for GEOS fans
For those GEOS freaks among us: I'm glad to report that I've managed to boot up GEOS with the latest development version of Yape! I need to redesign the user interface and fine-tune the 1551 emulation and then I hope to release a new version soonish.

Attila: have you discovered where is the address of the GEOS Turbo-load? I'm planning to write a patch to allow loading from 1541, but I've not that address yet.
Second: are there problems with colors?
Anyway a masterpiece!!!

I've never seen a GEOS before :D
What is it good for?  )
Is there a non-german version?

I did a 70% English version 
But the boot-disk is protected and it is not readable with StarCommander, so that I'm not able to create a D64 image. Anyone can help?

The colors are probably correct. C64 GEOS is all shades of blue; I would expect that the Plus/4 version would be several shades of one color (such as grey as Atilla pictured) also.
Remember, when these computers were new, a lot of people had black-and-white televisions or monochrome monitors. Hence a monochromatic color scheme would still be readable.
Atilla --> mnib uses a parallel-port-equipped 1541, which I do not have, and SVS probably does not have either. We have 1551s and standard plain 1541s.

Yes indeed. Attila, my friend, is existing any other mode?

Well, to a certain extent you can still transfer copy protected disks with Star Commander. I don't know what copy protection GEOS+4 has used, but if it's just sectors above 35 + bad sector trick than the transfer is possible. Please refer to the SC manual for further info in this matter.
