So the "uIEC.MAN" image contains three files: The *-doc, the *-man and the *-run files.
By reading through the instructions I realized that the *-run file is not needed when booting from the SD2IEC. And that's because a GEOS128 image has to be selected before loading GEOS128.
But when booting from another drive (like the 1571 of the C128DCR) that file is needed so that *-man can run before all of the other GEOS files and set up the SD2IEC. The *-man then can be used to select images that are on the SD2IEC.
.... Little by little I am getting there....

I know it's been a while since this thread was created, but I was wondering if there was any news/progress on getting GEOS to recognize an SD2IEC as a disk drive?

It is not straight forward as I would like but it does work. Here is what I did. First I download a plain GEOS128.D81 from cbmfiles.com/geos/index.phpThen I modified the image for my configuration - c128DCR with 16MB ramlink, RTC, fmradio, and joystick. I also downloaded the uiec manager from here (last in the list) wweicht.homepage.t-online.de/downloae.htm and added to my D81 image. Copied everything into the SD card and booted the SD2IEC as drive 9. Here is the screen at boot-up  Then I adjusted the config file. Because I used a D81 image the config file thinks I have a 1581 disk drive.  In order to change the image just re-launch the uiec manager file and select another image.  I suppose there could be better way to do it. But this works for me. |

I tried and tried to get GEOS to use my SD2IEC as a hard drive. I created CMD type hard drive files so use large folders and all kinds of stuff but never got it working.
The best setup I had for the C128 was to boot using the SD2IEC to Geos and then just use my 1581 native for storage.
Geos just like floppies!

Yep, but not too many. I tried to become a serious GEOS user once but gave up on it. I just felt too restricted by its drive limitations. |

GEOS apps, when run under Wheels, are less cumbersome, i.e., less calling to the disk drive.

I downloaded UIECMAN.zip and put the .cvt PRGs on a disk .
What I need is a guide on how to use them.
Please help!

The .zip files contains 5 .cvt. After conversion, 2 of those are instruction guides. In english and german.
Also place the autoexec file in your boot disk so UIECMAN will start automatically. After that it is pretty intuitive.
