Something I think would be also usefull if somebody sets up a database
(accessable on- and off-line) of ROM calls and RAM adresses for all Z80
Ti's and ROM versions. There are quite a few things in ROM that haven't
been documented by Ti, and there are also people who have taken a look at
some things, so it would be nice if there's a place you could collect them.

Then you could also make include files in which the ROM-entrypoints are
defined with the same names as they are used on the different platforms.
(plotSScreen = gbuf = VIDEO_MEM = ...)

Knowing what RAM areas are used, and what for, is also very usefull.

The problems are:
1) What database format to use?
- Needs to be accessable on DOS, Windows, *nix, Amiga, ...
2) I don't have experience in programming PHP / SQL or whatever.
3) Can't setup everything alone (need webserver, 'fast' internetconnection,
etc.)
