Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough on that.  I remember a definitely
unbuffered Y-cable being offered.  Like the unbuffered connectors on the
Glenside interface I see this as not only a dangerous concept but I
really don't understand how they even work as I would expect multiple
devices hanging of that same bus to interfere with each other.  but what
do I know.  :-)
