See http://www.seasip.info/Gem/gemxm.html (I'm not sure if its the same/newer/older than the one from the OpenGEM site) This version of GEM/XM includes the changes to use handles instead of FCB, so its load.a86 source (the module that did use FCBs) probably doesn't help much. The original source to the load module was apparently lost prior to the GEM release as Open Source, so there is no original load.a86 but there are remarks from various messages via google to a commented dissassembled version of the original - not sure where it is though [would be really handy to see what is going on though]. >From what I remember reading, GEM v2 and XM in the load module uses FCBs to access information from the assign.sys driver. GEM v3 this functionality is in loader.asm and uses handles which was partly incorporated into the above mentioned XM update. The next step is to figure out what FCB calls GEM v2/XM make and then determine what the FD kernel is doing with those requests.
