Fries in a Wendy's frosty is far superior. There is something about the
consistency that is just _right_. For those who haven't tried it, just think
of it as the American fast-food version of Thai food: that magic combination
of sweet and savory.

Ahh, the quirks of FPGA development. If I recall correctly, you shouldn't use
tristate signals internally because there's actually no such thing within any
modern or even semi-modern FPGA (and I believe the same may even be true of
ASIC development).

The hardware internally doesn't use tristate signals, but your VHDL compiler
_should_ be smart enough to turn...

    
    
        pin <= 'Z' WHEN tristate ELSE '0' WHEN zero ELSE '1';
