Byron,

I've been supporting the idea of a two chip system for a while now,
and I think this is getting pretty close to something that I'd like
to see.  Would it be possible to have a hex file for the P-socket
chip that would allow it to act in ICD mode on the S-Socket chip?
There's no LA, but I can still live with that.  One other idea: I
like the principle of allowing for multiple oscillator
configurations.

I just hope that this doesn't get too far into CUMP's territory (;
