hello phil,

well, i suggested a version with two bbd's in the beginning,
but it wasn't a good idea. believe me, as soon as you have
more bbd's, you want a separate clock for each of them.
it's a bit of a waste of resources to have four ic's
without the possibility to use them separately.

best wishes
