Hi!

I am working on a Ph.D thesis involving an in-debth analysis of available,
high-performance bus standards. Unfortunately, I have a few black holes
in my documentation, namely Fastbus (IEEE 960) and Futurebus+ (especially
detailed information about the different transfer modes: compelled, non-
compelled and split transactions). Does anybody out there have any hints 
where to find this information (I know I can get the Fastbus spec from IEEE,
but it takes 4-5 weeks. The Futurebus+ spec. is not yet available from IEEE
as far as I know).

	Any help will be greatly appreciated, best regards

				Ola.
