That was my point, exactly. One shouldn't have to hack a new machine in
order to make it what one wants. That's doubly true when you can buy what
you want for less and not have to hack it.

My solution was far more reasonable. Map it
<VDM1> at 4000h and set a bit
to enable it (small hack). That way it used no TPA space and was still
faster than using a TTY. I later set up one of the NS* controllers that
way for a full 64k space. Of course I had to write my own drivers but it
was pretty trivial.
And hack the RAM board to be disabled when the VDM1 is enabled?
