sd2iec 0.10.0pre4 released! (Geos/Wheels working on uIEC)

Looks nice...
So, the Wheels info I've found is a bit lite.  The Wiki page says it's kind of an upgrade to GEOS (which the pic backs up)...

It says it's commercial but the link to the ompany that made/makes it is broken???

It mentions playing MP3s??

Is there any better / more up-to-date information on this OS?

I remember I was quite impressed by GEOS back in the day.

No, there is no MP3 player for Geos to my knowledge. If you saw a mention to "MP3", that refers to Mega Patch 3, which was a competing Geos desktop upgrade.

I think someone needs to update the Wikipedia article then.  :hammer:

Wheels gives new abilities to the C64 and 128: the ability to play movies and MP3s, graphic web browsing (and limited server abilities), and true multitasking.

Looks nice tho..

Wow, that is very nice...
I remember that I actually really liked Geowrite.  I was thinking that if it wasn't swapping out to the floppy frequently, it would have been very nice, especially for an 8-bit OS..

And that was on a plain C64.
