    Installing GeoWorks Ensemble?

     by oneirotekt » 2005-1-29 @ 14:29

    I'm trying to install GeoWorks Ensemble 2.0 within DOSBox. I have five directories, each containing the

    contents of an install disk. I mounted the first disk as a floppy drive in DOSBox using these MOUNT

     parameters:

    mount a c:\oldstuff\geos2d1 -t floppy -l Geos _1

    where "Geos_1" is the volume label it will be expecting. I run the install program from the newly mounted A:

    drive, and it copies the first disk over, then asks for the second disk. I have no way of changing the mounts

    from within the install program. Fortunately, the Geoworks installer will let you escape to shell in the middle of 

    installation. So I go there, do:

    mount -u a

    (unmounts drive A:)mount a c:\oldstuff\geos2d2 -t floppy -l Geos_2

    and go back into the installer. But the installer isn't convinced that I really have disk 2 in my floppy drive.

    Any ideas as to why, or how I could work around this? Floppy installers for games and applications seem to

     be one area where DOSBox is rather rough going in the current version.

    did you try pressing ctrl-f4 after you reenter the application ?

     but it could be that the program is checking some weird thing.

    You could try running it in the debug version to see if something odds pops up

    CTRL-F4 is the same as typing RESCAN at the shell right? Both seem to have the same effect, which is

    nothing.

    Are debug versions of DOSBox publicly available? How would I get one?

    I took a look with the debugger, and didn't see much of interest, and no special calls or anything when it came

    time to switch / detect floppies. Just in case it's useful, here's the output leading up to the install procedure, but

    again none of this occured near the floppy switch request:

    I think this error is reminscent of the List-of-lists drivers that were partially

    implemented -- int 15/ Ah=8x, is trying to find free extended memory;

    On a hunch I suspect its probably trying to use Xenix/Dos 1/Unix7 device access, and freezing in the lists.

    Also, I recall that there was a few undocumented ints triggered by disk eject,

    (I cant remember the program that made it obvious at the moment;

    its was one of those where the disk-light stayed on, and prompted you to

    change disks.. non of that flashing/buzzing thing M$ made famous).

    Just tried this again, with 0.72 (on Ubuntu 8.10) and got the same result. Really wish I knew what the GEOS

    installer was looking at, besides disk label, when it says I don't have disk 2 inserted.

    "asks for floppy" means it prints some "press a key to continue" message,

    repeatedly if the wrong floppy is (mis)detected, right?

    Put some logging into dosbox, like at CPU_Interrupt (excluding those that

    annoy too much and are of no interest, like int8/int1c), and execute the

    app to that key press message thing. Then add a breakpoint to stuff likeint16 or some code part that is right after the key detection. Check the

    interrupts that are called then (maybe some findfirst operations, possibly

    low-level disk routines, whatever). Maybe you can grab some idea of what

    could be wrong.

    Just out of curiousity, why are you trying to install Geoworks? I had purchased Ensemble 2.0 in the days of 

    Windows 3.0 and installed it. To be honest I wasn't impressed. Ensemble was nothing more than a shell withAOL built-in and some included apps. Windows had 386 enchanced mode which allowed multi-tasking (I

    would be downloading with Telemate for DOS while playing MS Arcade). Ensemble would only multi-task 

    it's own apps, when you went to DOS you had no access to Ensemble unless you quit your DOS app.

    The one impressive thing that kept me from erasing it from my hard drive was the print output. It had scalable

    fonts that produced near laser-like quatlity on my 9-pin Epson dot matrix. Sadly I loaned out my disks and

    never saw them again however Windows 3.1 had just come out with TT fonts so I was able to achieve similar 

    results on my printer. The thing that killed Ensemble is the lack of support. Compare the software and

    hardware available for Ensemble at the time vs. Windows.

    So again I ask, what does Ensemble have that you can't get from Win 3.1? The person I loaned my disks to

    told me GEOS' solitaire was better than Windows. Is that it?

    Windows.

    So again I ask, what does Ensemble have that you can't get from Win 3.1? The person I loaned

    my disks to told me GEOS' solitaire was better than Windows. Is that it?

     Nostalgia? Killing time? Relive the "good old days"? Any reason will do. I am sure he does not NEED

    Geoworks Ensemble for anything productive. Just for the fun of it.

    I'm all about nostalgia and re-living the good old days - that's what DOSBOX is all about!

    I'm just reading all the trouble oneirotekt is having so I'm trying to see if I can help him achieve the same end

    results with another shell/OS and less frustration. But then again he's a Linux user so he's probably used to

    endless debugging sessions and retro-fitting of software.

    Hi there. Yep, it's pretty much nostalgia, though I was going to see if I had any document data left over from

    those days I could revisit too. I installed Win 3.1 in DOSBox a few months ago and it brought back more

    good memories than I would have thought, which got me thinking about GeoWorks as well.

    The one advantage GW had back in the day is that it ran really fast on a 286! I was stuck with one for longer 

    than most people back in the day (always saving up for a new PC) and "386 enhanced mode" was but a

    distant dream.

    And yeah, the dot matrix printer output was pretty nice.

    I loved GEOWORKS Ensemble 2.0, but my disks seemed to self destruct and I wasn't interested in paying

    through the nose to replace them when MS Office 2000 does everything I want and I have 2 legal copies of 

    it!

    I loved GEOS on the C64 and still have the 2.0 disks and thanks to a preservationist, Pete Rittwage, he

    digitized my original C64 disks including the GEOS disks!

    I don't know what could be the problem.

    Maybe you can take it from here and do some more hacking but at least we can now get it to install.

    SOLUTION: Open GEOS.INI and first change: ContinueSetup = true in [system] to ConinueSetup =

    false 

    Then - more important - make sure, that the correct file system in [system] is chosen:

    fs = os2.geo and not: fs = ms4.geo (normally DOSBox works with a special DOS version and not MS-

    DOS!)

    Here a picture of GEOS 2.01 within DOSBox Megabuild 4 under WINDOWS 7, Build 7077 (!):

    - NDO 97 (v2.70)

    - NDO 98 (v2.81)

    - NDO 3.2a- BrotherWorks 98

    - NDO 2000 (v4.20)

    - Breadbox Ensemble 4.12

    I've got it installed by mounting a hard drive image and booting DOS 5.0 first. IIRC. Nothing special for me

    to do but that.
