Sorry, there isn't any response from Scroll Lock/Print Scrn/F12 but thanks
for the tip on Alt-Break from Sprow!

I was given 6502Em for a present a while ago now but it's taking me this
long to get used to it, having got used !65Host, I suppose. I don't like the
way keys are mapped onto other keys so that the keyboard operates like (but
certainly doesn't look like) a BBC keyboard layout. I am altering the
keyboard map file so that all keys map onto themselves - hopefully!. I found
the 'Virtual DFS' system strange at first, which has a more contrived feel
than the 'ADFS' on !65Host. 

I disliked the way that Warm Silence advertised 6502Em as compatible with
RISC OS2+. OK, it *worked* on my old A3010 but too slow to be of any
practical use. Still, I suppose that depends on what you mean 'compatible',
do you want to just look at a program or be able to use it?. I prefer 65Host
for my programming, 6502em for playing games that do naughty tricks with the
hardware that 65host doesn't support.   

No discredit to Mike Borcherds there - 6502Em is an achievement in itself,
but everyone has their own preferences ;-)

CD.
