Now that would be interesting

No, just part of a screen shot from my emulator. I just uploaded a new version to give access to RAM registers 32 to 47. I'm not sure if they go past 34, but won't hurt.

It would seen odd though that just an extra 3 RAM registers were added for the Nj values. I would expect multiples of 16, but these are probably inside the main CPU chip, so adding an odd number is feasible with the higher register addresses unable to store and returning all zero's (or one's) if read.

cheers
