Scot Doyle 561578fc98 console_codes.4: Update timestamp 
Actually a dummy commit to mark the fact that I mashed commit
e8db1b97eb to have the wrong
author. Come release time, I'll at least fix the Changelog
to note that the author was Scot Doyle.

Elie De Brauwer 463f35e1c9 mem.4: Correct /dev/port group in example 
mem.4 mentions that group for /dev/port should be set to 'mem'
However, all other files (/dev/mem and /dev/kmem) use the kmem
group in their examples and on my system /dev/port belongs to
kmem. Hence the 'mem' group was probably a typo:

    edb@lapelidb:~$ cat /etc/group | grep -i mem
    kmem❌15:
    edb@lapelidb:~$ ls -al /dev/port
    crw-r----- 1 root kmem 1, 4 Jan  2 10:00 /dev/port

D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
