I don't see why an ST implementation of OS9 couldn't include access
to the GEM graphics routines (VDI, and perhaps parts of AES).  These
are in ROM anyway, might as well use them, or allow OS9 programs to
use them.  (Portability?  Ever tried running a graphics program on
an 'IBM-compatible' just to find out you've got the wrong graphics
card?  'Compatibility' is a myth!)
