Hmm.. *If* that's what I think it is, I might have it on Microdrive for
the QL. Not sure if I actually have a QL though.

Have just found a load of Acorn and Torch Z80 CP/M/N disks though..
"Business Applications" <yawn>

Speaking of the Z80... Project Idea. (not for me.. i have too many already!)

Anyone ever get around to writing (Gerrof Phil! Leave something for
someone else!) a speccy emulator for the Z80 SP? Should be possible,
right? With a (fairly slow) ISR (IRQ coming from?) reading the (virtual)
display area and spitting it over to the host... Just a Speccy ULA to
emulate, and only a Tube ULA to emulate it on.

Oh.. Yer, and the small matter of the cassette routines. But I guess
that's what the user port is for.

Cheers!
