I now have Labtec external powered speakers plugged into the 1084S monitor. I took a Y RCA cable to split the sound signal from the C128 to the back of the 1084S into the audio plugs.
See here my setup at CommVEx.

Bil Herd provided his explanation of this issue at the 2015 CommVex. Basically he indicated that the marketing department were too fast in releasing the specs for the C128 and then the engineering dept. had to come up with a solution, hence the REU.
By the way it was a fantastic presentation by Bil, joined by Leonard Tramiel and subsequent Q&A session(s). Looking forward to see the videos that Robert made.

The solution of trying to running in multiple machine to me is secondary. If you have an OS that runs on a stock C128 the additional hardware configurations will have to be handled by specific drivers or add-on pieces. DOSSHELL was differnet from GEOS in the sense that it would let you run any applications written for the PC outside its own shell. Not all PRG applications coul run under GEOS, particularly the one that made use of the kernel, since GEOS took over that to run its own internals. GEOS provided word-processors, spreadsheet etc, to run within its own enviroment. DOSSHELL allowed you to run any other (not Windows) based applications, programs, games.

I am not sure about the Comet.
I suppose it could work on the 1541U and the ethernet adapter. But that would bring up the question as to what device number you have to print to. I am not sure you could print to "4".

Hi, It seems to me that any modern approach has to involve either a USB or network solution, since those are the only ports now available in new printers. I do not remember what happend with that USB idea, I am not sure it was fully implemented. All I can think of is that you mey need a serial to centronic adapter, which were available in the Commodore days, and some sort of parallel to USB cable converter. In any case it maybe more practical just to keep using Commodore serial based printers. - I mean not USB devices 'cause this story was never finished in case of Commodore 8-bit computers...
