Glad you like it. Comments welcome.
When I first posted this I still had trouble with the QNA driver. Those are
now fixed (patch file patches/xhdvr.cmd) so it now works on both UNA and QNA
devices.
I've tested this in SIMH. I would expect it to work on real hardware too, but
I don't have any to try, so reports on actual machines would be particularly
interesting.
