I'd heard about this long ago, but never read the paper and had
forgotten about it. Thanks, this is already a fun read two pages in.
This also reminds me that I'd heard rumors of people tying more than one
KA630 together, but I don't have any details about that. I seem to
remember some implementation details from the relevant processor
handbook that seemed like they would have facilitated this, but those
books are out of reach...
