The slave devices still share a single set of wires, so a misconfigured slave can cause some havoc. With a single slave device, there wouldn't be any turnaround problems though.
Anyone looking for hardware - check out <http://www.rs485.com>. They have loads of converters, repeaters, isolators, and other doodads for RS485. Their stuff isn't the cheapest on the planet, but I've used various products of theirs for systems with up to 350 or so slaves, inside or outside, fixed or portable, etc. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
