Not sure if I missed it but the Atari ST also ran GEM from ROM. I have been using mine
recently with a GoTek and Flash Floppy.
There are many emulators. I remember when I first used it being fascinated by the fact
you could do many tasks without using the keyboard.
Mind you I generally used it with Gulam a "unix like" shell with a built in
Micro Emacs.

Something in another recent thread about LISP machines got me wondering:
how many early graphical systems are well emulated (or emulated at
all)? I know that there are more or less functional emulations of
Alto, Star, and Lisa out there, but what about the various LISP
machines or the early workstations (Sun 68K, Apollo, etc) Also,
assuming that there are emulators for some of these systems out there,
has any software to run on them and been archived?

One system that could be considered a GUI, or at least the beginnings of one, is
the PLATO system. Emulations of that are alive and well, in particular the
system described at cyber1.org.
