i think only bbc basic for the spectrum might stand a chance of using
a second processor as a coprocessor though - also its the only one
with a built in z80 assembler unfortunately it still doesnt 128 or
interlace or +D isciple and certainly doesnt sam coupe external ram
above 32,768 for 6mhz what a shame - be ncie if the coprocessor
version could handle interface 1 and sam networking or even serial or
parallel ports no?
