Hi! I am working on a Ph.D thesis involving an in-debth analysis of available, high-performance bus standards. Unfortunately, I have a few black holes in my documentation, namely Fastbus (IEEE 960) and Futurebus+ (especially detailed information about the different transfer modes: compelled, non- compelled and split transactions). Does anybody out there have any hints where to find this information (I know I can get the Fastbus spec from IEEE, but it takes 4-5 weeks. The Futurebus+ spec. is not yet available from IEEE as far as I know). Any help will be greatly appreciated, best regards Ola.

Others are well under way, and some haven't even been conceived yet. The IEEE normally provides copies on finished documents through the service centres (i.e. Piscataway NJ?). For documents under construction, the best way to see them is to participate in their creation. Failing that, act as an expert reviewer. If you can't do either, contact the nearest office of the VFEA International Trade Association.
