Jack,
Another engineer actually took up this cause. It is pretty interesting. The other engineer actually has something finished but I haven't been able to try it out. Stay in touch and I'll let you know what I find.

logbook,
The bright spark comment is pretty funny. I'll send residuals to you every time I use it. ;-) Someone at my work gave me the JTAG spec. If interested I'll send it to you.
macgyver,
I guess the name says it all. That is a great link and I intend on reading it right away. BTW...
That is pretty cool and I'll definitely file that away. But I need to embed the JTAG stuff. Meaning that I have access to the JTAG signals through a FPGA in my design.
By bit-banging the JTAG signals through embedded software I can load a new profile in the clock synthesizer (sp?) on the...
I have a programmer for it also. You're right that I want to embed so that we can change frequencies of this clock synthesizer on the fly. I think it's a little weird but that's what design wants to do.
I started reading the spec and some other literature and I think I can do it. But I was...
I need to bit bang a JTAG interface and I'm not sure how to do it. The JTAG signals are connected to I/Os on a FPGA. I have downloaded the JTAG spec and am having troubles wading through it.
The chip I'm programming is a clock generator. Not the same one I asked questions about earlier this...
Thanks for the help fellas.
I'm in the process of looking at On Semis web-site and you're right that they have a lot of good stuff.
I got a response from IDT last night with a 5 chip solution. 2 clock generators and 3 distribution chips. It would be nice to do this with 1 or 2 chips but...
