Caldera DR-DOS 7.03 is being used for the underlying OS, mostly just for the near-instantaneous TaskMgr (switching) functionality it provides to GeoWorks Ensemble. DR-DOS' HIMEM.SYS also natively leverages the 64K of upper-memory being provided by the MicroRAM as XMS, with which most of DOS is loaded high, and the remainder of which Ensemble grabs and adds to its memory pool. A basic boot yields 615K free conventional memory, where successive DOS tasks launched from Ensemble (via TaskMgr) each have a respectable 591K available to work with.

Caldera DOS! I fondly remember it! 😃
There was this free boot disk that I've got in the late 90s/early 2000s..

I've also learned that DOS 7.03 has an useful utility named filelink.exe.
It can transfer file via serial cable.

GeoManager active - not a bad look for monochrome CGA

Nice man, really nice! the t1000 can also do hires hercules, that should be even better...

...that brings me to the idea to give geos 2.x a go on my A2286 in my amiga...that should be a nice option... (I always used Geos 1.x)

Hi there, glad to hear! Both GEOS 1 and 2 are neat, I think!
If memory serves, the CGA drivers of either system allow to define colours in hi-res mode, even!
