3615944ffa Remove MIN and MAX from core
It isn't used in there anymore. Moved it to VE, the only place
where it's used.

0a26acfee6 ps2: interpret KC 0x1f as '2'
The '2' key on my PS/2 keyoard never worked on Collapse OS, I
wasn't sure why. I thought the keyboard was broken, but then I
tried another one, still broken. But it's only the '2'!

The KC sent is 0x1f. Is it a timing problem with the ATtiny? I
have yet to wire my prototype for logic probing. Meanwhile, let's
apply a band-aid.

29f3bf1e70 doc/hw/sms: adjust ROM hacking instructions
Previous instructions would only work with an AT28C64. Now, it also
work with an AT28C256.

7001446212 Complete overhaul of recipes
Recipes contain bits and pieces of hardware-related knowledge, but
these bits feel sparse. I've been wanting to consolidate hardware-
related documentation for a while, but always fell at odds with the
recipes organisation.

We don't have recipes anymore, just a /doc/hw section that contains
hardware-related documentation which often translate to precise
instructions to run Collapse OS on a specific machine.

With this new organisation, I hope to end up with a better, more
solid documentation.

de7cb4a80f Add word A,
This would be useful, for example, to allow the assembler to write
straight to an AT28 EEPROM without going to RAM. This would be a
life saver in machines with tight RAM such as the SMS.

eafcb0c440 avrpgm: add EEPROM support
also, verify all 3 first bytes of SPI commands. I'm not sure why
I wasn't doing that, probably because I was getting a lot of AVR
err and thought that only 2 bytes of the cmd were echoed. But now,
with a reliable SPI setup, verifying 3 bytes seems to work.

ebafa79795 Improve AVR docs
After many trials and errors in reliably accessing AVR chips through
my SPI relay design, I resigned myself to accepting 125kHz communication
speed with it. I find the complexity of solutions allowing to keep 250kHz
speeds to be excessive.

8bf6258673 Add word TICKS
Adding a delay such as the 20ms one we have in AVR programmer's
initialization routine is tricky without a word like TICKS.

This implementation is highly inaccurate, but more accurate and
reliable than a "ballpark" DO..LOOP...

91f79d1131 Move z80a from B200 to B5
The idea is to consider assemblers as "runtime" apps instead of
placing them in the "bootstrap" section of the blocks. These apps
will be used for much more than bootstrapping.

Moved its documentation to doc/asm.txt and made its code blocks
more compact.

3aa681ceca Remove ";" word
The ":" now takes care of scanning for ";". Conceptually, having
";" as an immediate word is slightly simpler than the approach in
this commit, but when bootstrapping is involved, this simpler
approach gets murkier.

Moreover, it got even murkier-er when trying to de-stabilize EXIT,
so here we are.

68dd800bd1 Remove LIT< in favor of LIT" exclusively
This duplicated feature existed because of bootstrapping issues
with LIT", but again, with careful threading, we can clean things
up.

We can now have a proper "Collapse OS" prompt :)

eefbf66e95 De-stabilize (br), (?br), (loop), (s)
When writing the xcomp documentation, I realized that with careful
threading and by accepting a bit of code duplication in the xcomp
toolset, I could de-stabilize a couple of words.

(n) and EXIT are a bit trickier, but I think it can be done. It
would be nice to get rid of stable wordrefs...

1a6a549857 Make the SPI Relay protocol support multiple devices
Working on programming AVR chips exposes a glaring omission in my
first design of the SPI Relay: not allowing multiple devices make
this task hard. I constantly have to unplug my SD card before, plug
the AVR chip holder, then play a bit, then unplug the AVR holder,
then replug the SD card...

My prototype for a SPI relay design is built, but I haven't tested
it yet. I need to adapt the code first, which is what I do here.

When the prototype is tested, I'll update the SDC recipe with a new
schema.

124da6adec Move SD Card subsystem outside of RC2014 recipe and add protocols
Although the SPI Relay driver is RC2014-specific, the SD Card driver
is generic enough to be a subsystem. That's the second subsystem we
add and this warrants, I think, the formalization of a new concept:
protocols.

ffcd93699e doc: out-of-system documentation
I've changed my mind about having documentation in-system. It doesn't
serve much of a purpose and make blkfs significantly heavier.

This commit is the first step in writing a documentation outside of
the blkfs.
