I heard a rumor about that :-).

I apologize for the language.  As for the tone, it was antagonistic but
no less so than the original comp.sys.intel posting.

I'm not sure that I agree that with your assessment of the VMEbus as a
non-general bus.  What are your criteria for classification?

For that matter, I would like to see Tom back up his assessment as
well.  If he had done so originally, the discussion would have
continued on a (much more desirable) technical level.

>BTW, what are you doing reading comp.sys.intel anyway? :-)

A moment of weakness :-)
