d8d2e05eb2 pcat: make find compare strings
find is the biggest chunk of logic of the boot code. The 8086 version
is significantly terser than the z80 one. REP/CMPS helps...

8c452f5add pcat: begin implementing find
Not comparing strings yet. Without asm tooling support, it's a big
chunk to swallow at once. It's progressing well!

40f92b9bab z80: optimize chkPS
Inline it in next and make chkPS, call a newly reserved label for
it directly, removing a layer of indirection. This frees a spot in
the stable ABI.

2b7abf802f pcat: begin porting forth
I'm not sure yet where I'm going, but I'm not going to build the
8086 port from the ground up like I did with the z80, that is,
making is sustain itself and eventually merge its forth code with
core words. That would be too much work which would then be thrown
out (all those words I'll initially have to implement in asm which
are already implemented in Forth).

What I *think* I can do is build a mirror version of z80 boot code
and cross-compile it from the z80. This means it has to follow z80
stable ABI.

Nope, I'm not sure where I'm going...

1a467efae1 pcat: use a far jump to boot into the OS
Unless I misunderstood, this is supposed to set CS. This would make
all SREG have the same value. This allows us to remove BIN( offset
from os.bin.

I've tried booting to offset 0, but it didn't seem to work. Let's
settle for 0x8000. 512kb of system RAM is way more than we need
anyways.

07e50313c7 pcat: separate MBR code and OS code
MBR code now strictly loads OS code into memory and jumps into it.

Now, I've got to consolidate my assembler code, modrm logic is
messed up.

7cad9ffe40 LIST: simplify logic
There wasn't much of a reason to leave a loop early on 0x0d or null.
The idea was that once you have a CR or null, the rest is garbage
and you shouldn't see it.

However, it brought a problem: In VE, you couldn't insert characters
past that limit. It would be written, but never displayed. So let's
get rid of this logic and simply always display a 64x16 grid.

4d893d90fc VE: Improve I and F buffer typing
Previously, it would keep the old buffer displayed why typing over
it. I had kept it thus because I didn't want to erase the buffer
right away because the behavior is that when we type nothing, we
keep the buffer as-is and repeat the action.

Now, the behavior of I and F is much better. It keeps the buffer
displayed until the first non-return keystroke and then erases it.

Also, fixed PSP leak in _type and fixed PSP overuse in successful
_F (they balanced out).
