         Z80 emulator code by Marat Fayzullin, PMODE/W by Tran&Daredevil
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first release.

Special features:
 -lcd-grayscale emulation (try grayscale programs!)
 -link port emulation without cable (easy to send files from pc)
 -link port speaker
 -8 virtual consoles (total of 8*32KB=256KB of RAM)
 -no need for Alpha key (except in some games ;-))
 -ZShell 4.0 installed

Special keys:
 [Alt+F4]          Quit to dos, all consoles are saved to Backup.bin file
 [Alt+Right Shift] Change between consoles
 [Alt+Ctrl]        Turn on/off link port speaker
 [Alt+PageUp]      Send files direct from pc to TI-85 console.
                   (put first your TI-85 console in Recv-mode).
                   All files but memory backups (.85B) are supported.
 [Alt+PageDown]    Receive files from TI-85 console.
                   Output file non-standard and always the same "report.dat".
                   (Look ti-85 link protocol information,if you want to
                    understand this file, even this emulator doesn't
                    support this file format!)

Known bugs, limitations and special information:
 -all files are received to report.dat file with all link protocol messages
 -sending and receiving memory backups doesn't work (that's the reason why
  ZShell is installed)
 -all consoles are always saved (copy to another name backup.bin if you want to
  save it)
 -no real link port emulation with cable
 -grayscale emulation is NOT perfect
 -no hardware reset for one console. Reset all consoles by deleting Backup.bin.
 -no copy command for consoles
 -Backup.bin file format is compatible with TI-85 emulator, except it has 8
  TI-85 state images one after the other
 -no speed control/limit (e.g. samples will be played too fast without 486)
 -press Scroll Lock if keys don't work (calculator is in sleep mode)
 -use Caps Lock instead of Alpha button to switch between lower- and uppercase
