I have a few general questions about Unix support/operation:

1) is tty0 dedicated for console operation?  Other ttys assigned to 
serial ports?

2) Can printing be assigned to serial tty ports?  (I'm awaiting an 
8-port Serial card to show up next week.

I'll run into more questions after I get the serial card and Zuluscsi 
Blaster installed next week in my PDP-11/83 and obtain a BSD-2.11 image.

If you’re talking about an 11/83 and 2 BSD, the console is /dev/tty8.

The BSD lpd could indeed deal with printers on serial ports.
