Because of the very indirect connection (serial port) of the
Mockinboard D, it is very unlikely that any general solution
for making it "compatible" with the bus Mockingboards is possible.

Specific code could be integrated with specific titles to allow
them to operate a "D", but the realities of memory usage conflicts
would rule out any general solution.
