   Indeed, Digital Research GEM sources were originally written for x86. EmuTOS   
   used them on 68000, and filled the gaps with a new BIOS for Atari ST, and a   
   lot of adjustments. Current EmuTOS sources only support 68000/ColdFire   
   processors. Porting it to a new CPU would require to rewrite the assembler   
   sources, and define a new API for user programs. Such OS would not run 68000   
   Atari programs, unless some emulation layer is provided.   
      
   So this is unlikely to happen.
