	? Huh? Wha? Not that I know of.  Gosh... 'hope I'd know!
	Anyway, the solitary disadvantage of the tty000 is that
	it interrupts at SPL4 while the expansion ports interrupt
	at SPL5.  By the time that becomes significant, your
	barrel's over the falls anyway.  (Tty000 should be
	trivially MORE efficient than the expansion tty's for
	which a BOARD search must be made.)
