Subject: BBC in MESS open source driver request for contributions

Hi,
 
I just noticed this request for contributions from the author of the BBC
driver within MESS which has been untended for a while.   There isn't, for
example, even an Acorn Electron emulator available for MESS at the moment.
 
Anyway, I thought it might find some interest on the list.
 
Peter.

11/11/2004:    Hi, if you are interested the idea of open source BBC
Emulator Development, then you just found the right place to be. Please
contact me if you feel you can contribute, Here are a few things I would
really like to get working in this emulator:

The BBC Master.
BBC B solidisc sideways RAM (128K top 8 banks, mapped in with the userport
as the rom select)
BBC B oversized ROMS (a number of companies released 32K 64K and even 128K
roms that would get paged into 16K rom sockets)
BBC B Opus Chanenger (an external disc drive with up to 512K of ram disc)
BBC B speech hardware
Cassette Loading support
BBC Master Second processor support (6502, Z80 and maybe even the 80286).

I would like to get a group together to make some of these things happen.
If you can help please contact me@...@jefferyes.org
