Years ago (around 15!) I wrote a very primitive BBC emulator in C, which
I think might actually match your needs.

It does a basic 6502 CPU emulation, and emulates the OS calls enough that
BBC Basic can run, but (for example) OSWRCH just maps onto "putchar", rather
than doing anything clever.

If you (or anyone else) want a copy, let me know and I'll put it somewhere
it can be downloaded.
