   Hi,   
      
   Is EmuTOS portable on CPU x86 and the ATARI VCS platform, where it   
   is originating, since there is GEM on the Amstrad PC 1512 thanks   
   to Digital Research ? The ATARI VCS is a well defined architecture,   
   that allows to boot many different operating systems. Why not EmuTOS ?   
      
   Thanks,
