     The MegaSTe has 3 ports - two implemented with a Zilog SCC (one of
which is hardware compatible with LocalTalk, but can be strapped to be
a standard RS232), and one with an ST compatible 68901.  The TT uses
an additional 68901.

     The MegaSTe has at least a socket for the 68881/2.  I _think_
it is populated.
