OK, we were discussing terminals this morning with some other old guys.   If
I knew the answer to this I've forgotten.

Every PDP-11 UNIX I ever used had the console KL-11 as /dev/tty8.   The
question is why.    My guess is that for some reason

an 8 terminal multiplexor (DZ-11?) was stuck at tty0, but why?
