Dual Independent Bus
A system bus is a single computer bus that connects the major components of a computer system. The technique was developed to reduce costs and improve modularity. It combines the functions of a data bus to carry information, an address bus to determine where it should be sent, and a control bus to determine its operation. Although popular in the 1970s and 1980s, modern computers use a variety of separate buses adapted to more specific needs.

Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day

People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.”
