  Well, Leo, I understand your point, but do you really think that
they are going to change all of the addresses with the new machines?
I'll bet my *compiler* won't even generate code properly (judging
from how long it takes for them to deliver their upgrades (Modula-2)).
So how do you access port 0? If you do as shown in the RKM- Kaboom.
Of course one could always patch in ahead of input events (which I
may have to do to maintain machine compatibility).  I'll have to
experiment further...But for the average hack, what does it matter
to have fun reading the hardware?

  John
