The JSimm 6-slot backplane already supports multiple processors. Any
signals of any slot can be isolated from the other slot(s). It can easily
be split into two 3-slot planes.
So two JStiks could talk via SPI or asynch serial or ?? Or into an ethernet
switch. Wish I had time to play with this, or that someone else would
carry the "parallel" torch.
JStiks could also talk over the HSIO bus, but this would not easily be peer
to peer.
There is at least a partial Java implementation of Occam:

And I wish I had time to dig into CSP for Java.
