BBC BASIC (Z80) for the ZX Spectrum

This is the J.G.Harston reinterfacing of BBC BASIC (Z80) to run on the Sinclair Spectrum. I started work on this in the late 1980s, and recently restarted work on it.

To run BBC BASIC you need to install the ROM in a ROM bank selected with OUT &FD. You can do this with a suitable external ROMBox, or with a Spectrum 128 or later.

*NEW* The version 0.40 Spectrum Host now has working microdrive support.
