+# This device exists only because there are some devices that I don't
+# want to have a Platform parameter because it would cause a cycle in

+# The real solution to this problem is to pass the ParamXXX structure
+# to the constructor, but with the express condition that SimObject
+# parameter values are not to be available at construction time.  If
+# some further configuration must be done, it must be done during the
+# initialization phase at which point all SimObject pointers will be
+# valid.
