Oh, decoding cyrillic istn't a real problem - it just
consumes a lot of processing time for my biodynamic
interpreter :)

Hmm - a bit - think of a Dragon after kissed by a steam
roller. It's a 4 MHz Z80A clone with 16 KB dyn mem (max
64 kb), 6 kb video mem (afaI can guess) and integrated
FD controller.
