As I understand from Apple, the AppleBus (as yet an incomplete product)
will enable Macintosh and Lisa type machines (on the order of 30 such)
to be interconnected more or less in a BUS manner, and not in a true
network (I quote here from the Apple representative at Stanford on Feb 1).
Other devices, such as printers, may also be on the bus.  No fancy CSMA/CD.
Bus requires a bus master.  Hardware is basically cabling; most of the
product is software.
