Wanted: Information leading to the succesful capture of a 
preliminary MUlti-Bus II specification. Naive name-droppers
need not apply.

Seriously folks, I know such a beast exists 'cause I saw
a "can't tell you what it is yet- but 60 companies are
already supporting it" type article in Electronics Magazine.
Key attributes of interest; 

	Number of Address Bits?
	Number of Data bits?
	Asynchronous Handshaking?
	Minimum Number of clock ticks per single word transfer?
	Maximum Data Transfer Rate?
	Bus Arbitration Technique Chosen?
	Differences wrt VME-Bus?

Thanx,
