Thank you! I'm looking forward to further interesting hardware that is "brought to life" with the help of EmuTOS!

Good question.
Unfortunately, EmuTOS's desktop doesn't support the cartridge filesystem.

Actually this was something I was meaning to research as well. AFAICT it (GEMDOS cartridge) is not supported. Auto-run programs on the cartridge port are, but I can find no reference to GEMDOS (/BDOS) type cartridges in the manual nor in the source.

I had wondered if I'd disabled it in the build I was using (customsed 192k version), but I haven't looked into it further than grepping through the source and Googling through the manual.

Having piqued my interest, I can now find this discussion on the emutos-devel mailing list from 2017:

https://sourceforge.net/p/emutos/mailma ... sg35607716

Unless there has been a change of heart, this looks to be unsupported, therefore.

Out of curiosity: Which programs do you run from the cartridge?

Hi Christian, not Atome_X's use case, but mine was to load Gembench from Exxos' multi-diag cartridge when I had no DMA available.

Quite niche, I appreciate!
