Summary: bit banger works ok under level 1

Greeting-
     I used the bit banger port on my venerable 64k f board machine for a
couple of years under level one with no problems.  Just make sure the
cables are correct and start tsmon with the proper syntax (tsmon /t1 &),
and you should be ok.  The only time I had any problems was when one person
was working on the console, and another on /t1 and one or the other of them
was involved in disk access.  This caused all other I/O to be halted due to
the design of the disk controller.  If you have a controler with some cache
memory this will not be a problem.  Of course after the disk operation is
done, both the console and /t1 have no trouble with I/O.
