Perhaps you misunderstand, what I mean is that by bypassing TI's
hardware protocol (not the calc-to-calc protocol, the hardware signaling) 
and directly controlling the port one could implement a faster protocol.
IIRC this is how the I2C routines work, one line is clock, one is data,
as opposed to the typical way the TI works, one line being a 1 bit
the other a 0 bit.

Please note, I'm not advocating this as a good general solution,
just pointing out that it is a valid design that one wouldn't be 'fu**in
stupid" to use, to quote Olle.  I'd defiantly prefer a pure hardware
solution.
