I am thinking if the NOVA code in TOS is a good idea at all. If yes, it
should definitely be somehow switchable. Perhaps an unused pin of ACIA,

today I have been discussing the new TOS for 040+ with Douglas Little.
It seems that it would be rather hard to incorporate whole ToolKit 5.07
into TOS. So I would go just for hacking out 030 specific instructions
