Proposal: Add the following words to the section: "Bus-specific Properties for Bus Nodes" "clock-frequency" Standard prop-name to define the frequency at which the PCI bus (defined by this bus node) is clocked. prop-encoded-array: an integer, encoded as with *encode-int*, that specifies the PCI clock frequency, in hertz. ****NOTE**** I meant to bring this up for Tuesday's meeting, but it got lost in the shuffle. I would like to add it to the updates that I am making for 1.5, based upon what was agreed to this week. So, could all interested parties please give this your immediate attention, and let me know if you have any major concerns. Ron. [ P1275 Item #249 -- Received: Fri Mar 10 08:17:29 PST 1995 ]
