I _know_ that.  I've stated that I _mispoke_ in my simplification. 
Okay, I've admitted this.  I'm just curious how the SRQ/XBar works.

BTW, as another gentleman pointed out off-list, there are 30+
definitions of what comprises an "IC."  I looked several up and it's
a rather arbitrary term, and _several_ could fit my definition.

Let's just leave this be and _end_ the "analness."
If that isn't enough:

  You were right, I was _wrong_.
  I _mispoke_ on HyperTransport.

But you didn't have to "talk down" to me like I don't have a
background in the semiconductor industry.  Don't be so ass-u-me'ing.
