Another possible UI for Charleston

[Robert E. Seastrom]

Wouldn't surprise me if the hardware was capable of it in some
capacity (a lot of that stuff ends up being fairly programmable
anyway) - but the question of whether you can get to it via the APIs
that Apple has provided.  Believe the answer is no.  Even the new
peripheral stuff that's come out in 3.x, it's "you get a uart" level.
