Sb: 600 baud on /t0

An unexpected feature of /t0 showed up over the weekend. It would appear that
this port can not support 600 baud. You can xmode the descriptor to the
appropriate value, but attempting any type of use of that port (just an iniz,
for example) and a 240 error will result. Why a drive error happens, I'm not
too sure, but happen it does.

With my 5 serial ports in operation, I had plans on having my X10 controller
hooked to /t0 (thus the 600 baud), a tube on /t1, a critter on /t2 and a couple
of modems on /t3 and /t4. Looks as if I may have to swap the tube and X10.

This bit of trivia wasn't in the manual that came with the computer, nor did I
recall seeing it in the Tech manual. However, I'm told it's covered in the
technical info from Signetics.

Thought I'd pass this on to other MM/1 users ... and I'd expect a similar
feature on a TC70's /term port.
