Well, iPad is a tactile mobile device, and not a computer. ARAnyM means
"ATARI Running on Any Machine", that means on any computer. The ATARI
virtual machine is not supposed to be supported on the iPad device.

The ATARI VCS is half a console and a computer, and ARAnyM is supported
on it. Because ARAnyM runs under GNU/Linux that is ATARI VCS's native OS

If the ATARI VCS could boot on EmuTOS, that means a x86 version of it,
that would be a huge step forward. EmuTOS is currently only booting on
68k computers. But EmuTOS is portable. Do you know it? It's free
software. ARAnyM virtual machine uses EmuTOS and boot with it.

That's how Eureka 2.12 runs with ATARI, Amiga, Macintosh and Lisa =)
If DR/GEM was ported to ATARI VCS natively, that would make sense...
Eureka 2.12 could run natively with the ATARI VCS computer, 40 years
after the ATARI ST.
