Historical GEM Driver Source

The following files are reconstructed source for original GEM drivers. They're included mainly for historical interest rather than use; they won't have as many features as the latest FreeGEM drivers.

I created these by starting with the released GEM/3.0 driver source and successively building earlier (GEM/2.2, GEM/2.1, GEM/2.0 etc) and later (ViewMAX/1, ViewMAX/2, GEM/4 etc.) versions. Note that because I started with GEM/3 and travelled back in time, the number of drivers increases the older the version gets - the GEM/2.1 driver pack has GEM/2.1 versions of all the drivers in later versions plus any unique to GEM/2.1, and so on.

Exceptions: Some GEM/2 drivers didn't make the jump back to GEM/1, so the number decreases there; the only GEM/4.0 drivers are the seven originally distributed with CCP's Artline II; and the solitary GEM/5.0 driver is the VGA one.
