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.
