Actually, most DIMM has "real" series terminators at the data lines. I am certain most of the memory buses are multi-drop. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Reams [mailto:breams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 10:42 AM To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: Why we need to use "Series resistor" at Transmitter? {snip} > > In regard to your comment: "Series termination > > shoulkd NEVER be used wher the path is going to more > > than one input i.e bus configuration.". The ATA/IDE {snip} I think the moral is to be careful with words conveying an absolute = (always, never, impossible, . . . )It is to easy to find exceptions. = When someone says "never" read in "not normally" and when they say = "always" read in "usually" or "often". I would say "never use never" but = that would be violating my own rule. And on termination, as a wise old engineer once said "Just do the right = thing". ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: http://www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List archives are viewable at: http://www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
