Could this program be used on a U.S. Plus/4 using a 1571 or 1581 drive, or would I need to aquire a European Plus/4 and a 1551 drive?
I left a message on Maurice's voice mail, but he hasn't responded yet.
Thank you,
Bob Corrow

Maurice won't call back because it's not his responsibility to. He's not selling it, I am.
The current version requires YAPE 0.49 emulator, or PAL Plus/4 and 1551.
This is clearly stated on www.cbm264.com, and in my original post (two messages above).
If you like, you can add yourself to the NTSC interested party list by emailing geos (at) cbm264 (dot) com and requesting notification of an NTSC release. The NTSC release will obviously support the serial drives 1541, 1571 (in 1541 mode), and 1581, since 1551s are very rare in the States.

James,
I actually called Maurice about an order I have with him for some 128 stuff, and indicated on his voice mail that I was interested in GEOS for a Plus/4 (having seen your announcement).
From your post, I got the impression that you and Maurice were in on this together. I didn't mean to arouse your ire.
I'll leave a post concerning a NTSC version.

Bob, I'm sorry. Your message on this board looked like you saw my annoucement and called Maurice specifically to order GEOS for the Plus/4.
Your request makes a total of four (yee haw!  ) people interested in an NTSC GEOS for the Plus/4, including myself, in case you were wondering.
