I have been developing some code for linking more than 2 calcs together
by using the I2C protocol. The project is currently unfinished and I'm
doing other things instead, but it shouldn't be that hard to finish the
programming. Obviously it's a ZShell program that is going to be a chat
program for several calcs, which could be connected either directly by
wire or an IR or radio link.
