[Oberon] Updated RISC5 firmware

[Walter Gallegos]

Apparently, some new versions of RISC5 are converging into my vision of 
a soft processor for FPGA. RiscCore: no floating point, does not use DSP 
blocks, has interrupts, data bus and code bus.

Is it true that  MouseP.v needs floating point, while MouseX.v does not? Or is it an accident that they have been parted by a horizontal line?
