OOPIC and PAK-VII

Dr. Nabil Rami was kind enough to forward this code that he has successfully used with the PAK-VII and the OOPic. These commands should also be useful for other "ShiftIn/ShiftOut" PAKs (all but the PAK-V and VI). The main parts that concern the PAK are the FReset command (initial reset), shift_out (send a byte), and shift_in_word (read a 16-bit word). Obviously, for some PAKs you'd need to be able to read in a byte as well, but that should be straightforward from this program.

Thanks Dr. Rami!

'PAK VII data input and output are connected to the OOPIC line 7, the clock is Line 5 in the OOPIC
