- I was writing something and wanted to refer to a bus that did
- not use split-transactions. I realized that I did not know the adjective
- for such a bus. One person I asked locally said, "That's simply a bus.
- If it is split-transaction, then you need to say so". Someone else said
- she uses the term "hold the bus" protocol, but admitted that that is not
- a technical term. I have seen the term continuous connect used, but
- thought that there must be something better. What do you call it?
