We will continue our discussion on the number of taps for the reference receiver. The minutes of the 3/22 call are posted at the link below and contain several links to various data sets regarding transmitter equalization and DFE performance. Please be prepared on the 3/29 call for a strawman vote on the number of taps we should specify for the reference receiver model. 07-063r3 has been posted.

I would like to look at the jitter numbers for both transmitter and receiver. Although we are still waiting on the measurement methodology information from ST Microelectronics, it is in process. The actual numbers can be determined while we wait for the presentation regarding the testing. My input is that we test the transmitter with one or two patterns. The receiver testing may include something different.

Another possible item is 07-119. I don't know that Rob has had enough time available to update this proposal.

Please send me any discussion items you may have. I will ask for these at the first of the call, but sending them to me or the reflector prior to it is appreciated.
