I just discovered the Vorkosigan Saga and have bought the first book - Falling Free.

    It relates the creation of the "Quaddies", genetically modified people who have four arms, the second pair appearing where unmodified humans would have legs. They were intended to be used as a space labor force, not only superbly adapted to zero-gravity but unable to function "downside" in any but the lightest gravitational field.

That is pretty much exactly as I had envisaged my adapted humans. Oh well, que sera sera!
