Currently the effort required to get documentation seems to
be greater than the effort required to write the code to make
it work.
The tough technical requirement is you need at least a 512K rom.
As far as the effort to make it work. I always estimate that it will
take at least a month because of the difficulties in getting ram up and
working. Usually it isn't difficult it is just debugging before you have
memory turned on is fun :)
