GUI64, I guess imagine if Symbos was ported to C64... could it be better than this?

There is a thread in the german C64 forum about this (in german):

It's really cool, that he is working on it so much at the moment, I am always happy about every GUI project for an 8bit machine.

imagine if Symbos was ported to C64...

...then it would look like this:
http://www.symbos.de/mirrors/www.clips64.de/desktop.htm
http://www.symbos.de/mirrors/www.clips64.de/scrnshts.htm
etc. (these probably were only mockups, but some which would work)

While today most of the new C64 GUI attempts are using the textmode I would still try the bitmap mode like in GEOS, Clips64, GDOS64 or Final Catridge even.
Anyway thinking about it doesn't make much sense. You can't do something similiar like SymbOS on the C64 because of the 64K limitation. There is no real memory banking available, so you are doomed to have a single program environment. The maximum what you can do is to swap between frozen apps, like C64OS is doing it.

The FAT12 discs are all in the other simple DSK format (plain sector dump), which is used by MSX or Enterprise emulators. These use the *.DSK extension as well.
So "CPC"-DSKs are always in the Marco Vieth format (can be read by CPC and PCW/Joyce emulators), while "FAT12"-DSKs are always in the plain sector dump format (can be read by MSX and Enterprise emulators).

Thanks for the new DSK!
