Scorpio 68000 hardware is very similar, but with chessboard buttons and side leds.

connects to the Novag Super System Distributor, which can then connect to an
external chessboard, TV interface, computer, etc.
Serial transmission format for Novag Super System is 1 start bit, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit, no parity.

TODO:
- if/when MAME supports an exit callback, hook up power-off switch to that
- add Super System peripherals, each has their own MCU
- serial port isn't working for nsvip v1.x? it only sends empty chars, maybe
there is no problem and the comms protocol is different
- unmapped reads from 0x3* range, same as snova driver
- is (non-super) VIP on the same hardware? minus EPROM or RS232
