Evenin' all... I have a vague recollection that /dev/tty8 was the console in Edition 5 (we only used it briefly until Ed 6 appeared), but cannot find a reference to it; lots of stuff about Penguin/OS though... Something to do with 0-7 being the mux, so "8" was left (remember that /dev/tty and /dev/console didn't exist back then), mayhaps? Thanks. -- Dave
