Tell me what you need, I'll write it. I've also been interested in preserving
the CCPU games, though from the somewhat heretical (from this group's point
of view) aspect of generating C source code from the roms (which should
run on a PC motherboard with the ZVG card, though like you I too have had
too much 'real life' work to work on that project lately. It would be a
lot easier if Zonn had Unix support for the Zektor, or even WinXP - but
last time I looked it all had to be done from DOS. Any updates, Zonn?)
