If traffic warrents it, we can split the group latter to comp.bus.scsi and comp.bus. I would very much like to have a group that discusses bussing issues, but I'm going to have to vote NO on this one simply because I think the discussion forum should include ESDI, IPI, and IEEE-488 busses as well. Sorry guys. BTW, where does one post an IEEE-488 bus quesiton? -- /\ Mark M Mehl, alias Superticker (Supertickler to some) <><> Internet: mehl@atanasoff.cs.IAstate.edu \/ UUCP: {{mailrus,umix}!sharkey,hplabs!hp-lsd,uunet}!atanasoff!mehl Disclaimer: You got to be kidding; who would want to claim anything I said?
