Those LEDs were cool! A bit more would have been welcome (a short string
for example), but it was very useful for diagnostic. We only had serial
console, which we had the dubious tendency to get our terminals
"borrowed"... ;-)

For Linux, there's this LEDproc program (and little associated
hardware)... We've GOT to make this into a kernel driver to that we can
redirect the console to it!
