  I discovered this.  I overlayed them as a test to see if it did need Mame 
and yes it compiled.  I jumped the gun a little by saying it wasn't complete 
sorry.

  So far I have found a couple of things that could be a possible bug.  
There is no way the JVC drivers can function correctly with a virtual disk 
that is NOT an exact size of the disk (even 256 byte boundry).  If it is out 
by 1 byte it will use the very fist byte as a sector size and will scramble 
disks. if it is not of the same value for the original drive.  I also 
discovered on a reset the FIRQ lines aren't reset to null as they should be, 
the code resets IRQ twice.  I don't think this is a problem but it should be 
addressed.
