Time for a new SMS tech doc?

I'm thinking it's time for a new tech doc for the SMS and family that incorporates some of the new information discovered since the last release of the Richard Talbot-Walkins document, including bits and pieces distributed in some of the other docs, like the SMSARCH and VDP documentation, and things that I haven't seen documented other than here.
Does anyone want to get involved in sucha project?

I think this is a good idea. There are a number of things (GG serial port, odd peripherals, Codemasters games) that would make ideal material for such a document.
IMO, I'd like to have my VDP doc linked to rather than be incorporated, so any updates and bug fixes wouldn't make the tech doc out of date. (err.. I mean incorrect)

Count me in. If you need material I do have a file on my homepage that covers some quirks like FM chip detection, territory detection, GG stereo sound, and the lowdown on mirrored memory.
Not sure if it's common knowledge however.
