This would be the simplest aproach. My only problem is that I can't test
it. (no 060 :-() This implementation could be done fairly quickly, say 2
to 3 days, including the 060isp.

Do so and keep me posted on your progress. I'll direct my efforts to
merging the fpsps into one. If someone else have the time they could start
working on the isp part.

Who is he/she?
