On this one intended application, I'll most probably have several =20
channels of non-standard serial data, hence the need to bit-bang.  The =20
pennies aren't really a concern on this one, but I'd like to avoid =20
having several peripheral chips doing the comms and then feeding to =20
one bigger processor.
