Thanks for this excellent link.  I could find geos128.ZIP archive and the manuals. This GEOS 128 starts in the VIC mode. So composite monitor is required... However it is possible to switch to VDC RGB monitor. I have doubts though that some GEOS128 programs may work in the VDC mode. IMHO VIC mode is abundant...
IMHO C128 was the biggest deceit of the customers in the home PC history. They wanted upgraded C64 but got the same C64 plus two poor supported and artificially worsen semi-computers.  GEOS128 looks much less popular than GEOS64.... I don't know the reason. Maybe it is the poor support too, isn't it?
BTW C+4 with VDC may work at full CPU speed or even in "the super turbo" (ntsc, 2.2 mhz) mode.
