Mini updates 3 - PC98 A-Train III, Atari ST keyboard fix, FM-7 video adapter

Some more mini updates for things that weren’t big enough to merit a full update on their own. In this entry, we’ll finally get A-Train III running on my PC98, fix an Atari ST keyboard, and ship new hardware for a whole new brand of Japanese 8-bit computer.

The only thing that was really wrong with this machine is that the mouse didn’t work.
