Well I was thinking about having a 512x192 screen mode using both screen
areas on the 128 in a way similar to that described by Alvin Albrecht.
Again, it would be handled externally, not by the ROM, thus not introducing
incompatibilities.

Well, I already released a +4 ROM, so now I'm working on the ZX Spectrum SE.
You don't need to support the old +4, just the new SE as I found lots of
bugs in the +4 after I released it (although as I discovered recently it is
supported by MESS).
