Perhaps the Bussmann > Fuse company (now Cooper Bussmann) spelling is confusing you? I've been in the computer business since I joined IBM in '65. Seen untold 1,000's of references to a/the [system] bus, but have never seen it spelled with 2 esses. To me a "buss" is a kiss. Now to the dictionary...

Sure, but IBM always makes up silly words for things that nobody else uses, like IPL and DASD.... but yeah, it was official IBM policy to spell it "bus" and to call an external I/O bus a "channel." --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Not just IBM. I've worked in that business since nineteen <mumble> canteen and "buss" was only ever used to refer to an electrical (power) bus (hence buss fuses), which is quite a different animal. I can't think of any computer maker who called his backplane a buss.

The 8080 was a decent chip in its day, but Intel didn't call its communication system a buss, it was a bus. People who wrote about it may have called it a buss, but Intel didn't. Sorry, try again. |
