Hi Dennis,
I was trying to describe what the legacy Xcat does. Other than where
we are limited by lack of pins (Doug Hall UF output primarily) Xcat NG
will have all of the functionality of the legacy Xcat.

It's also possible to shove a whole code plug mode line (or a whole
plug) into the Xcat. I'd really like that feature to stay.

The Pico is an open source design. We _could_ import its schematic, add
our translators and such, and lay out the result. I mean, it's a whole
tree full, and a bunch of shiny baubles on top, but it's end up being
neater than just stapling two boards together, _and_ would let us have
the extra GPIOs easily, _and_ we could eliminate any hardware we don't
need.
