More common (and way less confusing) terms for "physical row" are "rank" and "chip select" (the latter isn't fully technically correct of course, a rank is what a chip select connects to -- but people use the term anyway and it is obvious what they mean). Maybe this clears up things a bit -- if the opposite, please ignore :-) Segher -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
