Re: When you're looking at a pipelined system, the first thing you have to get out of your head is the usual human concept of "time". Another wonderful Post! Thanks again, Carl. I remember a text called "Physics for the Inquiring Mind" from the 70's - it was (relatively) pleasant read, despite doing a good job of covering the basics. Have you considered writing a text on electronics design that is also accessible to the interested layman or non-technical student? I think there's a real need for such a book, and that you could write it. Regards, Dan

Carl, Cut the techno-babble. The engineering community has conspired with the Germans to steal Rambus hard-earned IP, and the American people will not let it stand. Scumbria

Carl, re: but I'll bet you're having fun. If you mean I'm having fun trying to understand this complicated bus, you're right. (More interesting than a lot of other stuff on the thread). The mistake I made was mis- interpreting one of your comments in the diagram. I thought you meant that third step "B" tuns off output "A" when "B" reaches it. Should read more carefully. The two step issue was never in doubt, as was the concept of bits traveling in both directions on the bus with overlap due to reflection. My mistake was assuming you meant by overlap that two sources could be simultaneously driving the bus at any given point on the bus. (Which would create havoc with alternating "ones" and "zeros"). <g> So yes, I do see the third step. Thanks for taking the time. Bet you had more fun than I did. <VBG> Gene
