Rafael<p>1/2 I was talking to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@howtophil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>howtophil</span></a></span> about GEOS and decided that I would spin up a VM to run it. Let me tell you what I learned. I used Qemu and started with FreeDOS (FD14 is really slick!) but GEOS20 would error out on launch. Something to do with memory/files/buffers but none of my fiddling would get it to work. I thought it might have something to do with memory management so I spun up a generic MSDOS6 VM...<br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/freedos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freedos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>msdos</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/geos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geos</span></a></p>
