thats actually where I started with it, too:
in 1986, when I bought the 2290, I realized that if I read the loop 
time, multiply it and type the multiple time into the 2290, it does 
it, without click.

then in 1989, Gary Hall explained the PCM42 structure and sold me his 
personal one, so I took out its processor and replaced it by a 
veroboard PCB with loads of CMOS gates that did the Record and 
Multiply pretty much as the LOOP delay / EDP later.

I dont understand "square parallel"
