Well, after writing a lot of memory code... That was a long 40 seconds 😆

Another looooong wait... aaaand technically the only thing on my desk that runs windows 😆

(When it's not randomly hard faulting in places that make no sense...)

... and now I'm consistently failing the memory test at 544k for some reason... 🤔

After finally tracking down some memory corruption (so fun) and fixing up a bunch of other bugs it starts more reliably.

(Bit flickery when lots of RAM written)

Not having a mouse implemented and a keyboard with no numpad connected doesn't allow me to do much, but it boots... and "can I boot Windows on a PicoVision" was the thought that led me here. 😆

(Just don't ask about performance... or accuracy... or not-being-a-pile-of-hacks)

Well, I left it running and it hasn't crashed so that's something... 🤔
