The GEM Desktop, on a Nokia N810

A while ago someone on the Internet Tablet Talk forum posted an image of his N810 running Windows 3.11 in DOSBOX. Since then I’ve thought it’d be fun (if totally useless and impractical) to do something similar.

Being quite a fan of the Atari ST and its radioactive green GEM Desktop, I remember there was the GEM Desktop for DOS too. After a small amount of Googling I found a copy of DOSBOX for the Mac which was all set up to start GEM. It didn’t take me long to strip out the GEM folder and put all the bits together. Follow the link below to see what I did.
