I'm not sure if JBeeb is still going to be supported at all, but,
I've also written another Beeb emulator in Java which also needs
a few new features added. (http://jemu.winape.net). The web site
hasn't been updated for a while, and I'd like to put the source
code up on SourceForge if anyone is interested in helping to
improve it.

Cheers,
