I got it to work with Shift-Z-Break (or could of been Ctrl-Shift-Z-Break)
on Acorn 1770 DFS 2.26 (IIRC) and it worked fine (it was a copy I borrowed
off a mate).

As far as I can remember the Z-Break thing was 8721 emulation mode, it also
had a side-effect of making the -ve inkey to detect machine version (forgot
which one it was) return -1 (or whatever the BBC-Bs value was so that on
a B+ you could load stuff that did the check).

I've not explained that very well have I? ;) *sigh*
