DTV questions

I've got my box with PAL DTVs yesterday. First step was of course to open the
case and have a look at the interior:-) After a few hours of playing and
checking the easter eggs, I downloaded the programming info. I will have a
second look at it today, but for now, I have a few questions:

  * Are there official or semi-official names for the new opcodes $32 and $42?

  * Is there any way to read the current register file assignment? The problem
    I see is with libraries, interrupt handlers and such. If any subroutine
    changes the register file assignments, it cannot restore the old contents.

  * There is no description for the register bank entries $10 and $11. Is it
    correct that they are just the high bytes of the ZP and stack pages,
    meaning that I can moves these two pages aroung in memory in 256 byte
    steps?

  * This one is more a hardware question: How good is buffering on the
    in-/outputs used for the serial IEEE port, the PC keyboard and so on?
    Is it safe to just connect these to standard sockets/cables?

Regards
