Todd,

I understand your position. Note that TS models are very popular/standard and 
hence this BIRD will augment BIRD 116 in two ways: 1) ease of use (no need for 
wrapping TS models), and 2) portability (using TS in IBIS will not depend on 
any specific SPICE syntax).

Best regards,

Feras

I still think BIRD 116 is the right way to provide this functionality.  We 
don't need two different ways to do what amounts to the same thing.

Subject: [ibis-macro] Handling termination in BIRD 144

Hello,

I have updated BIRD 144 to support terminating: 1) unused ports, and 2) 
connected ports. The example below shows how. Figures and more details will be 
provided in the latest version of the BIRD , which will be uploaded very soon.
