How about a BBC Micro 2012 Edition...? FMT need another impossible tech

Hi,

Actually, I would be right up for writing a BBC Basic interpreter for
set-top boxes. Probably have to have some MHEG5-type interface, but the
idea is quite workable.
Not sure about how to make it support XML yet...

Many years ago I did some development for the KIT platform that used
