* hacked around the limitations of our PPU code, so to support the different CHR registers
* implemented Extended Attribute Mode (Ex1)
* improved PRG-RAM handling
* simplified NT-RAM handling
* first attempt to add split screen mode, still broken
out of whatsnew: this was for sake of messnew inclusion ;)

- moves CGA font upload support to a subclass
- adds new drivers: poisk1, ec1847, pk88
- adds a skeleton of native iskr103* keyboard
i8089: implement remaining instructions and support execution from "io" space. [Carl]

(mess) isbc: add hdd support to isbc2861 (nw)
this is mostly functional but about 2 years old now, and badly needs some modernizations. It's a bit ugly in places because I've had to make sure the legacy methods work too, although in other places simply because it's old code I never quite got around to cleaning up.
basically the inits have been split into ones that need calling once on startup (decryptions etc.) and ones that need calling when a new slot is activated (custom banking / protection handlers)

works, assuming you have the RAM. certain combinations / orders don't work, maybe the real system is like that, maybe there are flaws in the implementation.
once loaded as multi-game the neogeo will run through the attracts of each game in order, if you insert a coin then you can select next / previous game with the '3' and '4' (which are mapped to those buttons on the system) just like real hardware.
if you're low on memory try
mame64 neogeo -cart1 lbowling -cart2 samsho -cart3 mutnat -cart4 pbobblen -cart5 neomrdo -cart6 turfmast
instead
if you want an example of where it fails right now then put -cart1 roboarmy in slot 1 instead, it hangs after cycling through the games (or moving through them with 3) it's possible something isn't reset properly. This might become clearer as I clean things up a bit.
I've verified eas and neocdz work as before
