***********************************************************************

The purpose of this meeting is to address in greater detail the concepts 
which should go into the proposed Server SPI project.  We should also 
attempt to draft a project proposal for consideration at the May X3T10 
meeting.

One concept that needs some Engineering input is the idea of a new kind of 
differential signaling that could "fall back" to single-ended when plugged 
into a single-ended bus.  The new differential drivers and receivers would 
be designed so that they could be integrated onto the protocol chip (that 
is, lower power) and when they detect that the bus is single-ended (probably 
through the DIFFSENS line) could fall back into single-ended compatibility.

The marketing guys love this idea -- can the chip guys actually build it?

Draft Agenda

1. Opening Remarks
2. Attendance and Membership
3. Higher Speeds through low-power diferential drivers and receivers
4. Alternate differential termination
5. >16 devices addressable on the same logical bus
6. Draft Project Proposal for Server SPI Project
7. Adjournment
