If one chooses to manufacture a given sized hex-shaped board that uses an
SMD '240 to produce a bicore, there is very little room for variation. Oh
well. I mean, how many PIC PCBs look just like all the others?

Making it a tripled-output device might not be the best idea, though -- it
would be nicer if it permitted some kind of breadboarding. For that
matter, it really doesn't need to be hex-shaped, eh -- there'd be a lot
more area if it weren't, yes?

Just some thoughts, probably ignorable.
