- FO 09:52 PM Back from holidays
- I'm back from my holidays. I didn't find much time to work on this, a few hours here and there. The address decoder/bus master priority logic rework is taking shape and looking much neater - it was long overdue. I estimate about a days s...
- FO 09:46 PM Feature #58: Maybe consider moving CART selection closer to top in F12 menu ?
- Yes I agree this makes sense. I'd like a wider review/redesign on the firmware, there is a lot of scope for improvement. I'd really like it if someone else could pick this up so I could focus on the hardware aspect, any takers?

Can anyone else confir...

- This works on the latest core I'm using (lets call it v15 - address decoder rework!)
- FO 09:04 PM Address decoding rewrite - tricky, tricky!
