    OK, done ... not tested though (it does work on Plus/3, Divide and MB-02 still though ;-) :

    Please test if it works with the SE now... in the OLD menu it should say "ZX SE" in the top/right corner.

    btw. the SE paging is used BEFORE the +3 ... so the order of checks is :

    1. Divide
    2. MB-02
    3. SE
    4. Use Plus/3 if everything else fails

    Also for testing for the SE I use the RAM test instead of IN $FF since that could be falsly identified as normal 128k... possibly ;-) So I just page in RAM and write $FF and $00 there and test if they are OK.

    OK, I tried it in EightyOne (great emulator, btw.!) and it seems that emulation and everything WORKS. All games work fine and also the "ZX SE" is shown in the OLD menu. The only thing that doesnt seem to work is the "Return To Spectrum" option... and I have found why ;-) Fixing now...

    Hmm, it still won't exit back to SE gracefully... this is the version which should be "fixed" :

    http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/G14_2.ZIP

    When one chooses option '0' in the OLD menu (to go back to spectrum) it does the following (as said in the post of aowen) :

    XOR A
    OUT ($F4),A
    JP $0000

    It pages in some ROM and it goes there, but it crashes...

    FIXED.
    Ofcourse I didn't restore the proper speccy rom. So now it goes back to the SE 128k selector. YAY !

    Doing a quick docs update and then I will upload it.

    And here it is :

    Please test it... if I get a go-ahead from aowen or some more SE owners then I will up this to WOS.

    btw. This made me lookup some info on this Spectrum SE thingy. VERY nice :) I wish I had this at home... maybe one day...

    Hehe.. its all in the docs... Galaksija did have cursor keys, which speccy lacks... by default they are not emulated. If you press CAPS SHIFT + 1 then they will be emulated using 6789 and 0 (as fire in Star Cruiser) (border will briefly flash in cyan) - so Sinclair joystick 1 can be used for these games. To turn it off press CAPS SHIFT + 1 again...
