1. ANN: SE Basic RC1 / AY tables

I'm pleased to announce SE Basic RC1.

This is a modified version of the standard Spectrum ROM, but includes some commands you will be used to using with the TS2068, namely DELETE, ON ERR, and SOUND. There's an awful lot more in there as well, all explained in the release note.
Even if you're not interested in BASIC, you may be interested in the AY note tables. It's reasonably well known that the note table in the TS2068 manual was wrong (wrong chip clock and truncation instead of rounding). However, the Intermediate/Advanced guide was wrong as well because it was created on the TS2068 itself and was affected by errors in the floating point routines.
The release notes include complete 8 octave note tables for all three variant clock speeds of the AY chip found in official and licensed machines.

Just a quick line to let you know that RC4 is out including DEC, HEX$ and CALL equivalents. There is absolutely no more space to add anything else. Please report any bugs to cheveron[at]gmail[dot]com
