WIP - commit. Not much visible progress yet, except that the screen alignment is now correct. But internally things are getting better. Rebased on top of mame0182
Changed intvkbd to use generic TMS9927 support
Modded TMS9927 to allow for driver-specific overscan areas
Aligned STIC and TMS9927 graphics properly
Added prelim support for testing intvkbd printer
Add proper documented memory addresses for tape drive
Bring in commented tape drive code from old MESS source (wip)

Speak and Help [Andrew Welburn]
Note: Sounds are inaccurate and needs some emulation attention to sound as shown in video referenced in driver.
* Use an extra ROM region for the additional Nuevo Video chargen ROM
* Use required_region_ptr rather than doing a tagmap lookup on start
* Make Alpha Lock a toggling key rather than a fake DIP switch
* Add hacky vertical scrolling support to Nuevo Video board

Will be redumped soon(ish) (nw)
* Refactor function keys, keypad, etc. into a common set of inputs
* Add layouts for Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and UK
* Switzerland has French/German config option, natural mode only works for French
aquarium.cpp update [Brian Troha]
Replace PCB layout with with a more informational version.
List out major chips on the PCB including customs.
Correct OKI M6295 clock with actual resonator.
- Created devices for the galaxy games carts (EEPROM + Flash + PIC) and the slot(s)
- Removed code patches and emulated the PIC communication and bank switching
- Converted the blitter to a device (cesblit.cpp)
- moved the Galaxy Games from tmaster.cpp to their own driver (galgames.cpp)
Provided the PIC code for all four StarPak cartridges [Keith M. Kolmos]

- Write all bits except TO and PD, thus enabling e.g. bcf, bsf or clrf to change the flags.
- rlf and rrf must update the flags after the store to work correctly on this register.
... for updates. This will make device implementation more flexible and
faster. A nice side-effect is that there was some minor (<5%)
performance increase already. Each input is now assigned a notification
handler. Currently this is update, but going forward this may be a
custom handler. In addition
- fixed MEMPOOL on OSX
- removed dead code
- avoid bit-rot
- added delegate support for emscripten and arm processors
- added delegate support for VS 2015 x64
[Couriersud]
- Break up the bogus IOC structure and use 8-bit handlers where appropriate. This fixes a music playback glitch due to the old handler's failure to take byte mirroring into account.
- Improve OKI M6295 sounds by using correct bit for banking
* Add layouts for France/Belgium, Italy and Sweden/Finland
* Remove some Alt- chars from Germany/Austria layout so natural keyboard produces canonical keystroke
* Add borderline usable dead keys for natural keyboard (also applies to A1200 keyboard)
(nw) To use dead keys, you need to type the acent character combined
with a space, followed by the letter. For example if the host system is
a Mac with U.S. or similar keyboard selected, you can type à in the
emulated system in natural keyboard mode with Option-Shift-N Shift-A
(with emulated keyboard, it's Alt-J Shift-A in most keyboard layouts).
