No longer a theoretical Camel

In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice, they’re not. That’s sort of the same problem with emulators – even the best ones are not always the same as real hardware. Although MAME is very robust and useful for development, eventually you have to buckle down and get your stuff sent to a real system. Initial test: Soggy v3 Because I knew it would involve the least amount of work, I pulled my clone SG-1000 motherboard from the “loose pile” side of the desk to the “testing” side of the desk.
