I have not seen a charter for this groups or a welcome message so I
don't know if I'm stepping on any toes or not. If I am, please flame
gently as my carcinogenic asbestos suit is in the shop for a thermal
seal repair :-)
 
I am wondering if there are any Geneve 9640 owners/users out there who
are reading this group and if so, what are your feelings regarding Myarc
and the lack of a usable MDOS that supports both Advanced Basic AND the
HFDC? Please respond to the net rather than email. I'd kinda like to see
this groups take on some life before it's consigned to bit heaven. 
 
For the unitiated, the Geneve is a TI-99/4A compatible computer
manufactured by Myarc Inc of New Jersey. It is essentially a computer on
a card that plugs into the existing TI Peripheral Expansion box,
supports EGA (analog) display and utilizes an enhanced PC-type keyboard.
While its MDOS (Myarc DOS) environment is very reminscent of MS-DOS,
it's command structure is significantly different in several areas. It's
TI compatibility results from a GPL emulator that is loaded into RAM to
simulate the normal TI-99/4A environment. 

OK, Now I'll step back and wait for whatever, if any, responses materialize.
