The 1st paragraph of yours, is the idea that I mentioned as the 1st
reply to the initial message of this thread. :) I haven't seen it
done anywhere before. Once I get caught up a little bit on my current
10 PCB backlog, I'll be doing a breadboard prototype of 2 x ADs in
serial fashion. If it works, I'll expand it to 4 or 8. Summed CV Out
at least.

There're quite a few other possibilities with it but - as in my past
when I've come up with HUGE / COMPLEX ideas that have mostly failed,
I've recently gone back to trying to be as simple as possible. Once
it works initially, THEN expanding on the idea. :)
