I am interested in learning about the origins of various
backplane bus techniques -- i.e., either papers (unlikely)
or implementations.  For example:
When did the synchronous multiplexed backplane bus arise?
When did multimaster bus arbitration using fully-interlocked
handshaking arise?
If you have historical information on these, I'd appreciate
hearing it.
