- I believe the c128d/1571d package is going for $69 from CMD these days.

- JiffyDos, especially if you fix up your other drives, is always worth it.
-
- On your GEOS question, you might be out of luck. GEOS cannot be duped
- and xferred for many reasons:
-
- 1. It's still commercially sold (which means its copyright is still good)
- 2. The boot disks are brutally copy protected, such that even a zipcoded
- image won't do the trick.
- 3. Each GEOS boot disk was "keyed", which means that all your applications
- (geoPublish, geoCalc, etc..) will not boot except from the same GEOS
- boot disk they were installed with.
