From: Paulo Valverde Rocha <P.Rocha@uk.ac.ucl.cs>
Can anyone help tell me how I can have a copy of the IEEE
P896.2 (Futurebus)?
I know I can get the standards (e.g. IEEE Std. 896.1)from
the service center but what about proposals?
Thanks

There is only the IEEE/CS P896.2 Working Group's draft which has not undergone Sponsor Ballot. The 896 project has been restructured so that (after the revision is balloted and approved next year) 896.1 will be the logical specification of the bus and 896.2 will be the physical specification. Most likely they will be bound together since one does not make sense without the other. In any case, they are available now only to members and observers of the Working Group which charges a cost-of-reproduction and mailing fee. Sometime early next year, the unapproved P896.1 and P896.2 drafts will be made available at reproduction cost through the Computer Society for 6-months or so to gather public comment before the official Sponsor Ballot. If you wish to join the Working Group, either as a member or observer, contact the chair, Dr. Paul Borrill, at Sun Microsystems - 415/688-9025.

I have read draft versions of FUTUREBUS and FUTUREBUS+ proposals. These are marked THIS IS AN UNAPPROVED DOCUMENT. DO NOT SPECIFY OR CLAIM CONFORMANCE TO THIS DOCUMENT. Is it permissible to mention features of the proposed FUTUREBUS[+] standard in papers? In publications? If one is not able to join the TC [see note below]? By mention, I mean statements of the form "The proposed FUTUREBUS standard contains..." -- suitably footnoted as to the tentative nature of any such data. ---- Note: I wouldn't mind participating in the TC, just have no fund$ to be able to participate usefully. -- Andy "Krazy" Glew, Motorola MCD, aglew@urbana.mcd.mot.com 1101 E.
