Here’s DR Draw on GEMDOS on my

If you want to try GEMDOS on your Lisa, the key for me was you need to have only 1MB of memory installed. ✅ It did not work with 2MB. ❌

There’s also an apps disk with a couple of programs. I think well behaved Atari ST programs will run on Lisa GEMDOS directly.

This is 1st Word Processor which I believe was for Atari ST. The font in the document is a little weird but otherwise works fine!

Wait, what’s this? It looks like an Atari ST screen? And it’s running on my ?!

A messy desk with stacks of free circuit boards to the right, a display at the top showing the GEM desktop, a mouse at the bottom, and lots of wires running haphazardly everywhere. A screenshot of the GEM desktop environment. It looks almost like the Atari ST TOS desktop and fairly reminiscent of the LisaOS.

Die GEMDOS-Story

GEMDOS wurde zuerst für die Lisa von Apple benutzt, und später, als Heimcomputer aufkamen, in den Atari ST Computern. In beiden ist GEMDOS die Basis für GEM, die graphische Benutzeroberfläche, die mit der Einführung der Atari STs sehr populär wurde.

The GEMDOS Story

GEMDOS was first used in Apple's Lisa, and later, when home computers came along, in the Atari ST computers. In both, GEMDOS is the basis for GEM, the graphical user interface that became very popular with the introduction of the Atari STs.
