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...
