Which is why I am surprised that peripherals are on the bit-banged buss.

I know.

We are in the same boat then.

Yes. I am quite impressed with the Propeller from Parallax. If only it
had A:D on the chip ...
Regardless, I have several kids who are-building/have built MarkIIIs
and they want to add things like a Devantech compass module and the
sensor board (2-axis accelerometer) to help them with rudimentary
mapping.
