   GEM isn't the OS. 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.

   See above.
