What does it do?

Right now, not much of anything at all. It boots from a 1.44mB floppy disk, and enters into a BASIC interpreter, just like your favorite home computers of the 70s/80s!

Currently the BASIC only understands simple arithmetic expressions. But this will soon change; I intend to implement at least as many features as uBASIC, maybe QuickBASIC eventually.
Currently the BASIC only understands a few simple basic commands: `PRINT`, `LIST`, `GOTO` and `RUN`. The arithmetic parser was yanked out as part of a refactor that is still ongoing so it can't do math right now. The eventual target is for this to be fully MS BASIC-80 compliant.
Beware, this is a work in progress and is probably in some state of brokenness. The last couple of git log entries should be relied upon to understand the current state.
How can I run it?
