Ho, hum - bit-bang a few GPIO lines on the LPC. It works fine 
for us. We use a 38400 Hz interrupt on FIQ to reduce jitter, and 
a state machine to run the protocol. It's been tested with three 
bit-banged UARTs.

If we can do this in high-level Forth without a line of 
assembler, the C-weenies ought to be able to cope ...
