If you need a tiny tiny tty layer console for some kind of not quite mini-Linux please just steal the one from Fuzix or something similar thats only a couple of K in size and only needs extremely simple send byte/rx byte type handlers. Alternatively just compile out tty support entirely. What do you actually need ? Console doesn't need tty layer and if you have a debug/management interface that doesn't have to be tty and text based either. Being able to compile out tty support would be useful, having two tty layers that are intertwined and now both totally unmaintable is not IMHO progress. Alan
