I'm not sure how much of a problem that'll be. My main thought with "bart"
was that it'd act as an indicator of a nubus class machine. I don't think
at any point we'd be going out and twiddling bits in the bart chip itself.
It's more that we expect to find nubus-ish cards around.

Apple's practice was to make internal video look like a nubus card, so
even on machines w/o nubus expansion slots, we'd probably need to look at
the internal video as a nubus card. :-(

But we could choose a different name too. :-)

Take care,
