Ummm...someone already made TI-Hub which allows you to link 6 calcs
together (I think, could be 8 though).  In fact, the same person is
currently working on protocols and routines for the hub in ASM.  I think a
PIC chip is being used to program the protocols for the Hub and the
routines will be distributed when he has a finished product.  Until then,
all we can do is wait.
