I'll answer the easy question first... The "11th" port would be 'a'
just like ttyp?.

As I stated, I don't see how to parameterized this correctly. Who says
where the tty?? devices start (I know how to parameterized the unit
information, but didn't see the point if I couldn't do the other part
correctly). How can I tell that mfcs port 1 should be tty01 or tty07
or tty0c or ...? [Same thing for the parallel ports...]

If you believe that the ttym? should become cua??, SUBMIT A SEND-PR!

I'm sorry to be sounding "hostile" about this. If you don't like something
that I'm proposing, submit an alternative (preferable using send-pr) and
let the Amiga port maintainer do the choosing.
