backplane and would

However, as those models ' stock cases would not accept the company's large existing inventory of Zephyrus ISA demodulator cards, only their motherboards were used, in custom-designed cases with riser card and backplane modifications.
In a backplane design such as the Amiga 2000, connecting the / CFGOUT of one slot directly to the / CFGIN of the next would create the problem that an unoccupied slot would break the configuration chain.

backplane and be

MIDI information could be used on the backplane that linked the elements of the workstation together, connecting the input devices to the synthesizers, or it could be sent to another device or received from another device.
To solve this, the backplane ORs the / CFGIN and / CFGOUT signals to form the / CFGIN for the next slot (/ CFGOUT is pulled low if undriven ), which allows empty slots to be bypassed.
One drawback of reflected-wave switching is that each pulse may need to travel twice the length of the backplane ( one complete journey for the incident wave, and another for the reflected wave ), so a delay must be maintained between adjacent pulses to allow for the travel time.
