EFI control

[Pat Ford]

 Methinks I'll try to take the lead in an emulator design effort, and do a demo disk type thing ( single floppy works on a old 386 laptop. Who else is interested??
DIY_EMU ???

 just quick off the top of my head observations
dual port ram is expensive,
not all the eprom needs to be emulated

 hows about small d/p ram (16K?) and the rest flash.

 that way you can do the tables fast ( just swap out pages on the d/p ram) and the program is in slow to prgram cheaper flash, that will servive power outages?

Ideas and feedback PLEASE (esp from the EE's)
