Simple, the slushware does the port to 5027based video
and keycodes to
ascii translations and terminal emulation. You would not want that
inbetween a nominal serial port and the system while using a terminal.
To do thiswould require modding the slushware so that a normal console
requests are mapped to another port.
Which is exactly what my suggestion to modify the address intialization
table in the ROM does. Yeah, you need to have an EPROM burner, but that
goes back to what the definition of "possible" is.
