Talk:Daisy chain

message: The picture appears to be of ivy with daisies stuck in it, not a daisy chain constructed as described in the intro. -- Beland 20:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not so sure this article is in need of a split.  I personally don't foresee these various sections getting much bigger than they currently stand.  Computer engineering maybe, but the rest, not likely at all.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 22:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split 

message: localtalk is clearly physically a daisy chain but electrically is it a simple bus (like scsi), a regenerated bus (like midi) or two essentially separate interfaces with higher level forwarding between them? (i wrote this some time ago as i was restructuring the article but commented it out because it wasn't a usable paragraph in that form, someone removed it from the article so i'm putting it here instead) Plugwash 16:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: (First time 'being bold'... feel free to put me in my place if needed.) Did some big rearranging in the "electrical and electronic engineering" section. Still needs a lot of work. While I'm looking at it, the headings for four-equals-signs of depth (SCSI and MIDI) appear correctly in the TOC, but aren't showing up as 'lesser' headings (sub-subheadings of 'signal transmission') in the text itself... is this standard behaviour or did I mung the markup? I also think the section is encyclopedic enough to warrant citing; added template. Still needs some elimination of use of 'refers to' (see Wikipedia:Guide_to_writing_better_articles#Use_of_.27refers_to.27). Restructured as needed to eliminate run-on sentences and hard-to-understand grammar. Added a bit of content to make existing content easier to put in context. Wikified, wikilinked, fixed spelling and punctuation in places. Joel D. Reid 05:32, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: In a coursebook I read that daisy chaining is also a technique used to decide which I/O device generated an interrupt after the microprocessor received the interrupt. If someone knows more about this, please add it to the article. --Bernard François 14:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to, you can be bold and add the info yourself, especially if you cite sources like the coursebook you mentioned.  If you have any questions about how to, you can ask me on my talk page or here.  delldot | talk 17:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Daisy chaining in computer architecture 

message: "suffers from asymmetry due to the opto-isolator distorting the signal with each item in the chain" --- what exactly does that REALLY mean in english?  how does that impact a real life senario?  Joshsteiner 20:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Opto-isolators have an article, and their application to MIDI (or other sensitive circuits) should be fairly clear. That said, actual MIDI-related, circuitry-symmetry concerns are not covered here, nor even in the MIDI article.So, to answer your immediate question, the more devices one puts into any sensitive system, the higher the risk of signal distortion. In this case, optical isolators are necessary protection but act as yet another point of failure and can introduce loss of signal integrity.To answer your, methinks, implied question, "why is this section unclear?" I agree that the content on symmetry and isolators is approaching techno-babble as written, so I flagged it with "" — Joel D. Reid 07:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

message: A Daisy Chain is not a package management technology.  At most, it is a pattern for software installers.
