     Broadcaster: Removes clog2(1 + number of PDP-8s) tag bits to determine which channel to send to

+For the front panel:
+
+    We only have enough pins for a single front panel, so we need an arbiter to
+    control which PDP core is talking to the panel.
+
+    Maybe the command parser should have a command for controlling that arbiter?
+
+    Or we could repurpose some of the switches on the panel to control it? The
+    DF and IF switches are sort of an obvious choice here.
