-- SAA5050 teletext generator
--
-- Synchronous implementation for FPGA.  Certain TV-specific functions are
-- not implemented.  e.g.
--
-- No /SI pin - 'TEXT' mode is permanently enabled
-- No remote control features (/DATA, DLIM)
-- No large character support
-- No support for box overlay (BLAN, PO, DE)
-- No character rounding, although this may be added
--
-- FIXME: Hold graphics not supported - this needs to be added
