Subject: Web Site Under Development

Hello to all the folks on the list,


Well, I've been finding rather more time (read sleeping less) and so I've 
been ploughing on with BPC. In the spare moments between that and Jet-X,
I've been playing with my web pages, and there's a BBC section under 
development at

  http://pc12.sr.bham.ac.uk/mpc/BbcB/

Not a whole lot there at the moment, but I have a fair bit more planned.

One thing that will appear there is a page about BPC, and the current 
progress I'm making with it.  As it's not there yet, the progress report is
that the 6502 is fully emulated in assembler, and a fair bit of the 
mapped I/O is working.  Sideways RAM/ROM is functional. BPC 'cheats' and 
uses EMS for rapid 'easy' banking of ROM/RAM and so that saves a little 
bit of extra work reading from addresses 8000-BFFF.  Keyboard interrupts 
are hooked and I hope that fairly soon I can have something reasonable to 
throw out to everyone to beat up on - at least some way to fiddle around with
BBC Basic and so on. A disk subsystem is in the works, but as I'll be 
writing it in assember too, it may take a little longer than I'd like.

Best regards,

Mark
