Re: Dean Reece's proposal for networked control of automotive electronics...
The Society of Automotive Engineers has developed an automotive multiplexing
standard over the past couple of years...it's called the J1850 bus... Texas
Instruments and Motorola going to be producing (under agreement with Delco
Electronics Corp.) data link controller ICs that will interface their micro-
controller families to the J1850 network....also, be careful using the
name "COPS" for a microprocessor product, it is a trademark of National
Semiconductor, used for their microcontroller lines.
