Time for a Fuzix update. At this point I am trying to nail all the regressions in the current tree. Some of the Z80 platforms kernels will stay on the old compiler for a while longer. I'm slowly squishing the regressions including finding some real "how the hell did that work for years" bugs on the way.
User space is mostly good - I need to fix the very broken display code in vile and fleamacs.

Target for 0.5 is working vi, and for 8080/5/Z80 usable native C compiler

@etchedpixels So ... what is recommended emulator setup with Fuzix? It seems I really should be using z80... I could get spectrum 3+ (or something like that) emulation working, but that's not really nice setup to use, due to limited screen size and awkward keymap. I guess I could get qemu to emulate 386, but... that's not z80.

@pavel I do much of my emulator side testing on machine emulations that have serial consoles. It just dodges all the hassle. Things like the SC126 (Z180) or the RC2014 systems (Z80) both of which have nice firmware too (ROMWBW)

@etchedpixels So I guess qemu or other emulators in Debian won't cut it, and I should take a look at https://github.com/EtchedPixels/EmulatorKit ?

@pavel There's nothing in qemu I think that's old enough to run it. It would be nice to run CP/M in qemu in libvirt of course 8)
