What spans do you have between joists, what thickness of plywood were you planning, and what type of use are you planning for the floor?

At first I was wondering why you would need T&G, but the answers to the questions above would help to define that. And then I thought that if you really wanted T&G you could just set up a router and after ripping the plywood to 2' widths you could add your own T&G.

The way the house is constructed I can't get a 4x8 sheet into the attic. I can
do a 4x4 and with some effort a 2x8, but none of those are t&g.

Any options out there besides using some kind of Simpson Tie in place of the
t&g edge support?
