The ARM Co-pro is very handy for large file copying, I'd have been
lost without it over the last couple of weeks.

If anybody is in an ARM Co-pro development mood, how about a
6502 emulator?  I'd like to see how fast things like Tube Elite/
Level 3 Econet/Spellmaster anagrams run on it!

Best wishes,


Ian

Seconded, although I was at the pub last night with one of the Debian 
developers, working out if we could get Linux booting on a Beeb with 
one attached...
