- fastcon.device is a simple "replacement" for the console.device. It's
- advantage is being able to scroll fast.
-
- No different output "styles" are supported (bold, italic etc.), bold is
- displayed as bright if you use a 16-color screen with an EGA palette.
-
- Warning: This is a dangerous hack and will probably not work 100%
-
- If you want to use this device in your own programs, just open it instead
- of the console.device for output (but not input - fastcon.device only
- supports CMD_WRITE).

- Known bugs
-
- - Doesn't like to be flushed (avail flush crashes)
- - Ignores any other windows when scrolling (they'll scroll around too!)
- - Only works on interleaved bitmaps on backdrop windows in an Amiga
- screenmode and requires an ECS/AGA blitter
- - Sometimes causes the console.device process to lock up
