It's part of the OS. And it's embedded into any TOS       machine since 1987.       As it's a ST*e*, it's been manufactured after 1987, so all you need       to start and use it is plug and switch it on.       Moreover, bootable OS floppies wouldn't run fine on such a machine,       as they were made for early STs, which had a slightly different HW.       >       > Also, Am i considering the right path when looking to make a floppy of       > GEM OS, or did the Atari 1040 STe come with the OS on ROM?              See above.              Regards,              J.-Luc       --       "From" is invalid.
