You need registered TASM to assemble GEOS.

This archive contains FULL working source code of GEOS 2.0 and provides tools
for assembling the OS.
It is 99% identical to original OS. There are some differences in BOOTER
code (I've removed installation code because GEOS from this source comes
'cracked' and 'installed'; there are also few changes in order of bytes
in some places, which is caused by macros, it doesn't affect the system).

GEOS 2.0 is a copyrighted software and I'm sure that the source code is
also copyrighted. As far as I know CMD Inc. owns the rights for GEOS.
YOU CAN DEVELOP OWN VERSIONS OF GEOS ONLY IF YOU ALREADY HAVE LEGAL
COPY OF GEOS. OTHERWISE YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DELETE THIS ARCHIVE!!!

To bring up a working copy of geos simply type GEOS.BAT from your command
line. In few moments the file GEOS.PRG will be generated. Prepare your new
boot disk by copying DESKTOP, auto-execs (CONFIGURE, etc.), input driver,
printer driver, preferences on a blank disk. Then move GEOS.PRG into that
disk. From now on you can boot GEOS by loading that file and simply
running it.
You can change some of the OS properties by editing EQU.INC. By turning on
any option that changes the code of OS you turn on a number of small
optimizations across the code.

Archive is updated by:
- joystick input driver source code
- 1541 disk driver source code
- by selecting this in EQU file you may
   - utilize your RAM expansion in GEOS environment
     (+60K or RamCart 64/128K)
   - turn on 2MHz support
   (to do:)
   - burst/parallel cable for 1541
   - disk caching (about 32K on +60K/RC64 and 96K on RC128)
   - go to/return from BASIC support

Something fucks up when none of the flags is 'true'... - plain GEOS don't
work.
