EmuTOS is still lacking most of XBios functions that appeared
with TOS v4; everything for DSP, sound matrix etc.  That's
why things go wrong on the Atari side.

But the point is that regardless of how badly things go at Atari
side, Hatari itself shouldn't crash when Atari registers have
bogus values.
