Wanted: Information leading to the succesful capture of a preliminary MUlti-Bus II specification. Naive name-droppers need not apply. Seriously folks, I know such a beast exists 'cause I saw a "can't tell you what it is yet- but 60 companies are already supporting it" type article in Electronics Magazine. Key attributes of interest; Number of Address Bits? Number of Data bits? Asynchronous Handshaking? Minimum Number of clock ticks per single word transfer? Maximum Data Transfer Rate? Bus Arbitration Technique Chosen? Differences wrt VME-Bus? Thanx, Richard Trauben, AT&T Bell Labs (201)949-0088

Sorry, we are all sworn to secrecy and I would probably be fired for giving that kind of information out. I can say it looks like a really neat bus and that it should compete quite well with VME. I understand Intel is releasing it soon so you shouldn't have to wait too long. -- Phil Ngai (408) 988-7777 {ucbvax|decwrl|ihnp4|allegra}!amd70!phil
