In the dbx500 this will actually make the signal come out on both
pins. So there are several muxes connected to the same internal
rail. I can imagine a few odd ways that would work differently though...

We could use this to connect two UARTs to the console, not very
useful, but hey, dual screens...

I wonder what happens if both consoles hit enter at the same instant.
Probably nasty electronic states are possible.
