different devices so read registers you know to make sure they match your

new name that is related to the extra functionality you are adding.
For example, storage mounting and unmounting related functions were moved from
``uos`` into a new `storage` module. Terminal related functions were moved into
``uos`` into a new `storage` module. Terminal-related functions were moved into
`multiterminal`. These names better match their functionality and do not
conflict with CPython names. Make sure to check that you don't conflict with
CPython libraries too. That way we can port the API to CPython in the future.

When adding extra functionality to CircuitPython to mimic what a normal

mounting and unmounting drives is not a part of CPython so it should be done in a
module, such as a new ``storage`` module, that is only available in CircuitPython.
That way when someone moves the code to CPython they know what parts need to be
adapted.
