Found the images as well of that original Topdesk versions. So these should be for standard GEOS. www.pagetable.com/?p=1341Topdesk128 for Megapatch3 is still actively developed. Latest image is at that Facebook link. Hi xahmol - thank you for the additional links. However these are the links to the images containing the source code not the actual topdesk. From the comments indicated and also what you mention above, this sorce code does not compile correclty and it should be used as a reference for future development. My search continues.

Thanks to virtualsky and xahmol for the replies.
After rereading this thread, I realized that I was not really clear in my first post.
I am looking for the topdesk version that replaces the original desktop in GEOS 2.0.
I believe it was produced in Germany and distributed here in the US by Quincy Softworks and also bundled with MegaPatch. It could have been used as a replacement for the desktop.
@ virtualsky - Thank you for the link. The TopDesk version 5.0 seems to have been updated to work only with MegaPatch. When installed in the regular GEOS 128 2.0 the screen stays grey and the desktop never shows.
@ xahmol - Thank you for your references. I am not sure if the image you provided refers to TopDesk under GEOS or MegaPatch. I do not have facebook and the content is not available right now.
I partially agree with your comments. GEOS is more intuitive to use than MegaPatch, although the most updated version of MegaPatch includes some features (like native SD2IEC drive) that can be useful.
I'll see if I can join FB and that group to renew my request.

I am still looking for this. I have now 7 different d64 but none are useable.
I tried using pokefinder and search for MegaPatch but nothing comes up.

Hi Robert,
The two D64 in the link above are actually images of the Basic 8 diskettes. So I have those and I can copy them on real disks.
What I really should try to find now is the disk (or maybe disks) that came with the "how to the get the most out of basic 8" book.

So, from here sites.google.com/site/h2obsession/CBM/C128/basic-8 I have downloaded the two d64 and the txt file. Also, I found the book pdf format of "How to get the most out of basic 8" from Free Spirit Software. That book makes a reference to: two disks supplied with the book + Basic 8 toolkit + Basic 8 Poster maker programs. I am needing some help to find those additional disks and the programs. Thank you.

Is it because of the lack of interest? Or maybe because C128DCR without keyboards are less common than previously thought.

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 likes different "boot" file and "config" file depending on the drive which is booted from. From here follow the links to select and download the appropriate files which you will need to build you GEOS. cbmfiles.com/index.php

I was just reading old Commodore World magazines when I saw this. Issue 11 Nov/Dec 1995. Maybe everyone at that time was busy with the new Windows 95, that's why this was overlooked.

Robert brought that game to play at the last SCCAN meeting.
Is the trick to run then jump or jump then run?
