No. You are dealing with one device and no intermediate device to buffer the transmission rates. Transmission rate is negotiated to the fastest rate that both ends support. Both ends are transmitting at that same rate, and are busy for the same amount of time. In contrast, say you were

Yes, from the LAE instruction text: quote The address specified by the X2, B2, and D2 fields is placed in general register R1. Access register R1 is loaded with a value that depends on the current value of the address-space-control bits, bits 16 and 17 of the PSW. If the address-space-control

Yes, set the SAC bits first, otherwise the access register is set with zeros. The other point that others are making is that when in access register mode, the instruction format is VERY important. LAE R3,(R4) - loads the value from the location pointed to by R4 in the home address space into
