[GEM Development] New GEM devs

[olivier landemarre]

Hello all

I never post here, I'm an Atari user and developper on it for 17 years.

With some friends we have a big project, of a new GEM computer, base on a 
PC computer. We have already done avaibility test last year and succeeded 
to do a new clone computer working on PC with a kernel linux and Atari ROM 
under a very powerfull emulator, it work fine. Now we didn't wan't have any 
copyright on it so we wan't replace ROM by our free source. Already 
existing the Bios, GEMDOS part from Digital, there is a near complete VDI 
part for free and native, and a multitask environment with Mint, only AES 
was not very good
(Digital research source or others AES in free), so we have start to do our 
AES and 60% of work is done, avaible for multitask or not system, and even 
working on an other AES.
We hope have finich this work at the end of the year or in the first part 
of 2004.
But for us it's not enough, we would be able to mix native GEM application 
and emulated application in the same working area. In our solution GEM can 
be native. We think it could interest someone here and perhaps help us.
Our will:
A modern GEM system running on a kernel Linux and it's framebuffer in true 
color.
This system will be avaible to run native applications and 68K Atari 
applications in the same working area

Sorry for my english!
