	I have no idea what a JTAG is... I have a vague idea what a FIFO is.

	Maybe I should've chosen comp eng instead.

Yep :)   ... JTAG is an industry standard for test, but is also used
for programming PLD's, FPGA's, and their SPROMs. It's a very useful
generic interface for reprogramable/reconfigurable designs.
