Yikes,

When trying to bring up the TT and getting vertical lines (which appears
to be known about given the info on the wiki with lots of TTRAM ?), I
tried to use serial console only to find that atari_scc.c is no more. :-(

It would certainly be wonderful to have atari_scc.c back.

Any other alternatives for console debugging on physical Atari ?

Alan.
