This runs MS DOS 3.2 and GEM Desktop 3. The GEM desktop wasn't as common an operating system as the early versions of Windows, but it's relevant nonetheless, so its great to have a PC running it at the museum.

GEM Desktop also shipped with Atari ST and Falcon (of which we also have examples in the museum), but on the Atari it ran on top of TOS instead of MS DOS.

Thank you to Diana Willis for the donation of this exhibit.
