* mapping the code from ROM to RAM at 500000 after skipping the first 0x20 bytes means a lot of jumps go to the word after a 'br r3' so is probably where it gets copied to

* galaga: Implement accurate starfield based on reverse eng. 05xx
----------------------------------------------------------------
This commit implements an accurate starfield for Galaga and
Bosconian based on reverse engineering the Namco 05xx chip.
Documentation and notes have been added inline to the code
for the galaga video driver.
Changes in this commit:
1. Regenerates starfield colors based on LFSR state for every frame
2. Pixel accurate to Namco original 05xx
3. Restores one line horizontal starfield shift for every 256
vertical pixel shifts
4. Properly handles LFSR reset (_STARCLR)
5. Restores missing 4 stars from previous implementations
6. Fixes potential issue with the number of stars on screen at any
one time
7. Restores 4 pixel/line scrolling capability (not currently used
for any driver)
* galaga: inplement accurate starfield - change request 1
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Remove stdlib.h from src/mame/video/galaga.cpp
* galaga: inplement accurate starfield - change request 2
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Refactor starfield generator into stand-alone video
device
2. Simplify Bosconian and Galaga video drivers
3. Add in documentation about different LFSR form used
by Wolfgang Scherr and Jindřich Makovička.

RS-232 DCE-DCE Bridge
(nw) This is a simple machine for wiring together two things that want
to plug into an RS-232 port. This means that for DCE-like things (e.g.
serial printers) there's no need to create an extra machine to allow
them to talk to the outside world with the null_modem device. (Also
added some asserts, removed a FIXME, and put the swtpc8212 terminal in
the default RS-232 devices.)
This patch gets it running, and splits it into two front ends, one
being a rs232 bus slot so that is can be used as a terminal option. It
adds the MCM66750 character generator, and implements the MC6845 row
update function. Most of the I/O has been worked out with help from
the CT-82 user manual. The various screen formats and the graphics
modes appear to be working and plausible. Printer support has been
added, and a beeper.
* hp9825: optional ROM cartridges added (9825b only, ATM)
* hp9825: optional ROMs added to 9825t, added support for banked ROMs
@5c00, separated RAM & ROM spaces in 9825t
* hp9885: added missing post-amble when writing sectors on disk
* hp9825: added acknowledgments to comments (nw)
* hp9825: changes requested by V.Crabb (nw)
