Might as well faithfully emulate an OZ-750 (though mine is a ZQ-770) so I have a good reference for my own faster, better, greyscale simulator:
A skeuomorphic emulation of a Sharp OZ-750 organiser, running 1.6.2 firmware from the OZ-750 update.

It works astonishingly well for the virtually no effort it took to put together from the existing simulator front-end.

Honor Blackman and Richard Burton are surprisingly a bit bland as the centre of the film, but otherwise the film is a really pleasing 75 minutes. A community under threat, a parodic response, thumbing its nose at bureaucracy and government, in the post-War English way. Fun.

I consider ‘Days and Nights in the Forest’ not only Satyajit Ray’s masterpiece, but one of the greatest films ever made. I’ve been waiting decades for a restoration – and if you don’t know the film, or have only seen it in one of those ghastly YouTube transfers, I urge you to seek it out. ⬇️

It is fairly slow-paced mystery, but it is mostly backstage of the theatre, which provides the enjoyment. A great setting for a mystery. It has a good cast: Dale Robertson, Lois Maxwell, Derek Bond, Eric Pohlmann and Lionel Jeffries, and a mystery that I didn't solve. A fun, albeit slow, B-movie.
