The BBC is functional for the most part, but there is no support for
secondary storage as yet, so there's not a lot that can be done with it
other than type in BASIC programs.

I've taken a bit of a break from PACE development in recent months, but I'm
now back on board and in the process of cleaning up the whole code-base so
as to eliminate the multitude of "broken" projects.

One of the items on my to-do list was to add emulation of various floppy
drives via flash and/or SD card - TRS-80 & C64 at the top of the list but
certainly look at the BBC as well - most probably leveraging off the
excellent work already done on the Apple II (Alex Freed) and Vector06 projects.

Regards,
