How to run
----------

The .adl file is an Acorn ADFS hard disc image. You need a BBC Master
128 emulator to run this, or real hardware with e.g. a GoMMC adapter.

Once your BBC is configured properly (see below), press shift + break
to run the demo.

(I'm lazy and used 65C02 opcodes, so the demo won't run on a model B).

Configure BBC Master
--------------------

*configure file 13
*configure dir
*configure hard

(You must type the '*'s, they're part of the commands). Now press ctrl +
break followed by shift + break to run the demo.

"13" should be the number of your ADFS ROM. Type "*roms" to see a list
of installed ROMs.

Configure BeebEm
----------------

If you are using BeebEm, use the following settings:

Hardware -> BBC Model -> BBC Master 128
Hardware -> Hard Drive on/off  (must be enabled)

There's no GUI to select a hard disc image in current versions of BeebEm,
so you have to copy the .adl file over DiscIms/scsi0.dat in the BeebEm
directory (making a backup copy of the original file as appropriate).

Run from GoMMC
--------------

If you have a GoMMC, i.e.:

  http://web.inter.nl.net/users/J.Kortink/home/hardware/gommc/index.htm

Add the .adl file to your MMC card by using a command such as:

  GoMMCio -d<device> -c "ADD ADFS DISC N ntyp.via Neurotypical-VIA.adl"

Then, making sure you have a properly-patched version of ADFS active,
select the image with:

  *MMCDISC ntyp.via

Then ctrl + break and run as above.
