LSI Octopus

Been working on this over the past week. Finally got it to pass its self tests and ask for a system disc.

Re: LSI Octopus

Thanks to Carl, who cleaned up the video output quite a bit. Makes it a bit more usable now.

Re: LSI Octopus

Added some colour, and got the status line in Concurrent DOS to work (needed SCN2674 command 0xA6 to be implemented, why does the Octopus use undocumented commands?)

Re: LSI Octopus

Finally found a way to get some CP/M software on disk images the Octopus can read, and fixed some issues with Z80 banking, so you can run this on Concurrent DOS 4.1 now...
