From what I can tell, you can "wiggle" the output lines as you wish,
so it should be possible. They use it to implement a digital scope and
a usb/serial adapter.

The only problem so far has been the really ugly and cryptic code of
pk2cmd. I really can't understand it, and it seems to be like that on
purpose..... :(
