  So, results: Built the latest toolchain for Linux, and the spectrum emulator (ZEsarUX) which provides the new features. After a bit of hacking around remembering how to do Z80 assembler, I started poking the Next's new features.

  I got a sprite animation going, but this is about it so far. The Next emulator that works on Linux only supports this one of the new hardware features, but only at about 1/5 speed, and the documentation is out of date. Yesterday, I got added to a private group developing BASIC commands to the new features and a disk operating system for its SD card, but none of this works with the emulator yet. So I think next I'll work on improving my basic Spectrum assembly skills, and wait for the actual FPGA board or solid emulator support.

  UPDATE: I just got accepted to a closed Facebook group where an updated emulator is available, so my code now runs at full speed. Yay!
