Would it be worth considering to make a Q40/Q60 extension card with the IO components you have in mind for XY-Fire (plus one or two goodies)? The card wouldn't have much size constrainst, and almost no high-frequency challenges, so placement and routing shouldn't be too tricky. The card could be a "playground" to get familiar with the chips and write the software. All the best Peter
