Don't forget Diamond which is a GEM TOS "look-alike" version designed for
the Atari 8bits which original came on disk and then came on Super Cartridge
format. Designed by Reevesoft.

In Geos the whole OS was coded in 6502 assembler. Couldn't make an 8bit Does it have an underlying
system greatly different from TOS and AES(?) ?
Not knowing much about the internals of TOS ...
GEM and TOS (as I understand) were partly host
assembler (8088 or 68000)
and part c. No commonality
under the hood at all.
