- -> console.

Ah, handy, that!  Didn't know you could do that...

- -> ConsoleIn and ConsoleOut reflect the actual state of the world, whereas
- -> console reflects what the user has requested.  ARCS set ConsoleIn and
- -> ConsoleOut.

Yep, now that makes sense.

- -> This should also eliminate the need for the flag added to avoid reset
- -> of the SCC chip if its being used for PROM console I/O.

Yeah, if the ConsoleIn/ConsoleOut settings are guaranteed to point to 
something sane, we should never get into a situation where we use the
PROM console over a serial line -- which IIRC was the only case where
the no-reset flag to the SCC driver was used.
