> "and even to embedded computing" Mitch, I20 defines a message protocol standard for controlling I/O devices. The communcations channel for this message protocol can be the PCI bus or any other network medium. I2O opens up the opportunity for I/O devices that are located remotely from the computer systems that use them (e.g. a shared tape backup device or scanner). These remote, networked I/O devices would qualify as embedded systems. I can't even imagine all the possibilities here. You could have a I2O hard disk storage system sitting on a LAN serving the needs of a number of I2O enabled DISKLESS workstations (NCs), without having to have a full-blown computer system to host the disk storage - it would simply have a i960Rx/IxWorks combo in it. The diskless nodes would access the disk storage EXACTLY the same way they would if the disk(s) were locally attached; the OS wouldn't know the difference. Maybe this is what Larry Ellison (sp?) of ORA/NCI had in mind when he referred to a light-weight server for NC machines. -Dave Lehenky
