I could have strict timing constraints. I'm trying to understand how 
fast can be a (not too expensive) net of mCtrl coordinated in "Plan9 style".

I read the paper about the Goofy toy (Pisupati, Brown, Indiana Un.), 
based on a TI MSP430. Is there anyone in the 9fans community who tried 
9P2000 on a Microchip's PIC ?
