but would i then not be filling up the FIFO to the point of no
return??? how is a FIFO stored? in memory?

it would be nice to have a FIFO that could act as a "packet buffer" of
length 1, where i define a packet to be something like the output from
one invocation. sort of like a super market shelf with capacity one:
customer service puts product in, then only as soon as customer
removes the product, a new one is placed in.
