~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
GEOS is for the Apple //e, //c and //gs and the Laser 128.
|
|
|
|
Chapter 1
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Now that you have downloaded, pirated, or otherwise illegally gotten ahold of
|
|
this fine program, you may wish to make backup copies for yourself (or a
|
|
friend).
|
|
|
|
Program requirements:
|
|
|
|
Enhanced //e (//c) with 128k and double hi-res with at least two drives and
|
|
although a mouse is not required it is strongly recommended.
|
|
|
|
Along with the program and the docs that came with the original of the program
|
|
came a IQR interupt card which if you do not have a mouse re-routes the signals
|
|
that were suppose to be going to the mouse to the joystick or the keyboard.
|
|
This is not required, but there will be schemes for anyone wishing to build one
|
|
out of 15 bux of (good ole) Radio Shack parts.
|
|
|
|
Boot the boot disk after it says 'OK' in a box press 'return' to continue. If
|
|
you wish to install the boot on a hard drive hit 'h' a few times right after you
|
|
press return and follow the instructions there. If not it will automatically
|
|
load then. It will cycle thru the drives to find the on-line volumes and then
|
|
the desktop will appear. Once this happens and you get a little arrow, use the
|
|
U,i,o,j,k,l,n,m',' to move the arrows. You must hold down the open apple key at
|
|
the same time. Insert the Drivers disk into the second drive and hit closed
|
|
apple - a,b,c, or d to select which letter represents the drivers disk. Once is
|
|
done loading the catalog track there will appear 6 icons of drivers for
|
|
printers, etc... Move the arrow to the OPTIONS and use the 'k' to click that
|
|
box, a menu will appear and you can move the arrow down to the INPUT DEVICE and
|
|
select the device you wish to use.
|
|
|
|
Once this has been done things get much easier. Repeat the procedure, but now
|
|
for the printer, interface, Clock, aux drivers. Then after you have that done.
|
|
In order for GEOS to load your configuration up when ever you boot the program,
|
|
you must have the drivers that you selected on the boot disk. You will need to
|
|
copy those driver files to the boot disk. Refer to Copy Files.
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM disk
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When GEOS is booted it looks for the following things: Drivers on the boot disk
|
|
or the SYSTEM disk or directory. If you have installed GEOS on your hard drive,
|
|
you will need to create a folder or (directory) named SYSTEM for GEOS. Select
|
|
the drive you wish to have the SYSTEM folder by moving the pointer over the disk
|
|
icons and clicking the chosen one. Click the FOLDER menu or press closed apple
|
|
- U and you will be prompted for a name. In upper case type SYSTEM and press
|
|
return. Once you have done this, you may wish to copy the following files into
|
|
it:
|
|
|
|
Desktop, drivers (your selected ones) merge, Geopaint etc. This will be your
|
|
work or SYSTEM folder where GEOS will go to upon booting. Once you have done
|
|
this you will be all set up to run the programs and begin your using of GEOS and
|
|
the other utilities. Refer to Copy Files later in the file.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
have done this for all the files you wish to copy on that page or until the
|
|
thing is full select the destination disk and click the icon on the bottom of
|
|
the screen and drag it up to the work space and click again. It will copy the

|

|
|
|

Launching ProDOS files
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In order to do this you must copy GEOLOAD.system as the first file on the disk
|
|
that you wish to load and run a prodos sys file. After this file PRODOS should
|
|
be placed.
