    17 ALMOS-MK supports ''multi-channels'' peripherals, where one single peripheral controller contains N channels that can run in parallel. Each channel has a separated set of addressable registers, and each channel can be used by the OS as an independent device controller. Examples are the  TXT peripheral (one channel per text terminal), or the NIC peripheral (one channel per MAC interface).
