Videopac - First efforts

Today i started my first efforts into Videopac/Odyssey2 development. Yet another impossible platform ;-) This machine is a quirky little machine based on the intel 8048 processor. It is able to display 14 single color 8x8 character and up to 4 sprites (again 8x8 single color). On top of that you have 32 bytes of processor RAM available and a few bytes more in external memory.
I haven't been able to do much interesting yet (other than displaying a few characters and outputting some bleeps to the speaker), but i'm focussing on getting a proper development environment set up for this machine first. So hopefully i'll have some more videopac news soon!
