:be changed on a 68010 or higher system and shows how to locate it. 
:
:It mentions that serial I/O will be one of the prime beneficiaries... does
:anyone know what kind of speedup might be expected? Would this speedup be
:more noticeable at higher baud rates? (I may go 9600 baud in the new year.)
:
:Most developers may have remembered about the exception vectors, but a little
:reminder never hurts.

	What it will hopefully do, coupled with fixing the keyboard.device's
long disabled sections that Bryce found, is remove all the overrun errors
we get at higher baud rates (19.2KB+), and with a 68010+ remove the problem
of the video mode causing overruns at high baud rates due to the CPU not
being able to process the interrupt fast enough.
