[Tafoid, Fujix]
Update ghosteo driver with information out of eolith.c about QS1000
and added the sample rom, with a note about it NOT being dumped from
this PCB but is a common sample rom used by Eolith. [Brian Troha]
Fixed minor cycle counting inaccuracy in Z80 core. [Marshmellow]
Added the concept of device contracts. A contract is a well-defined
set of interfaces supported by a device, and identified by a unique
string identifier. A device may support any number of contracts,
described in a list via the DEVICE_CONTRACT_LIST* macros. The purpose
of contracts is to provide a means for devices to expose a standard
set of interfaces to other parts of the system. For example, the PCI
device should expose a contract that includes functions for
configuration register access, and 32-bit I/O. Then any device with
a PCI interface should implement the PCI contract, so that the PCI
bus device can route things appropriately. [Aaron Giles]
Removed the MDRV_<devtype>_REMOVE macros. A simple DEVICE_REMOVE
works now that device types are not needed. [Aaron Giles]
Verified clocks on Samurai Aces pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added missing static and const qualifiers throughout the source.
[Atari Ace]
Changed several internal interfaces to be more consistent, namely
(1) passing device_config as a const always, (2) passing
running_machine as a non-const always, (3) eliminating running_machine
where possible, (4) passing machine/device first, and (5) preferring
(screen, bitmap, cliprect) over (machine, bitmap, cliprect) when all
are needed for rendering. [Atari Ace]
