 The historical Contiki 1.x sources
+
+This fork is an attempt to get the CPC version of Contiki 1.x running again.
+The port never left the proof of concept stage and could use some love.
+
+The build has been fixed to work with a current SDCC (3.4) but currently the OS
+(contiki.bin) will crash right after loading. Some debugging will be needed.
