Regarding interesting OS's that run on XT's:
Amstrad shipped a little GUI with it's PC1512's and 1640's called GEM. It
requires two
360K drives and 640K, I think. Cliff Lawson has it in a file area off of
his Amstrad web
page
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/cliff.lawson/info.htm
It's very similar looking to GEOS for the c64.

If you're talking about the GEM I think you're talking about. Wasn't it
licensed from Digital Research? GEM is also the basis for the 16 & 32-bit
Atari's. I just can't remember at this point if the PC version ran on DOS,
or if it required CP/M to run.
