Bo,

If I had the necessary programming skill to patch or
re-write these programs I would do it. Really, I'm
bogged down rewriting programs to work on my CMD
hardware.

It is my hope that programmers will be able to take up
the challenge. Isn't there a fellow rewriting GEOWrite
128 to use the Wheels Kernal? Didn't Maurice hack
Flight Sim II to run from a RAMLink? Aren't there
folks hacking games to run on SuperCPU?

If you really value these programs and want them to
take advantage of new hardware, I suggest you start
disassembling. That's what I do, anyway. Some I get to
work and some I don't.

As for GEOS/Wheels, it is up to Maurice to decide what
hardware his OS will support. As I see it, Wheels and
especially Wave would benefit ENORMOUSLY from the
advanced graphics and acceleration offered by Jeri's
card. I HOPE he will give it serious consideration.
