HI Prof. Lee, Revisiting Volume 1 Section 2.10.3, I believe I misinterpreted something - I must have made it an I/O port manually. It makes sense that only output ports should get automagically transformed to input/output ports as per the discussion.
Now, upon increasing the MIC instances > 1, I'm having cloning problems as it tries to "link a bus relation to a single port" (.MIC.q_out and .MIC.relation3). I'm looking into that now. This also seems to imply a need to take the N MIC output channels and somehow preserve their ordering in a single queue outside the MIC. This sounds like a good challenge, although it does get me wonder- ing whether this approach actually fits my problem domain ;-) Thanks for the info and the fix, Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Edward A.

I agree that the error message is not very helpful... I've just checked in a change that improves the error message. The problem here is that queue_in is both an input and an output. DE does not support such ports (they in fact are treated as causality loops). Is there a reason that you made queue_in be both an input and output? If I change it to just be an input, then the model runs. Edward ------------ Edward A.
