Just a way that a multiple number of devices can be connected on the
same communications line..
Normally, these devices all operate with open collector outputs so
that any device can pull a line down with out electrically conflicting
with others or, multiple devices can pull the line down etc..

Since the RX electronics only requires a sinked input. This works out
very well.

It means a single "wire" or interface line (perhaps several individual
"cables" or "wires") can go to many places, as opposed to a "single
drop", which would be a point-to-point connection. It doesn't
necessarily mean that each node can transmit and receive data.

talking about?
Go stick it up your ass. You're about as clueless as a fucking donkey..
Actually, I think a jack ass is more intelligent. So that just
insults a Jack ass. If Dodo birds still existed, I would use that but
since they don't, there must of been a reason for their extinction? you
may want to rethink your actions in the future and not become a Dodo.

If the poster wanted more detail information, I think they would of
asked for it..
Since the question to start with appear to be from one, that is
almost as clueless as you are, I didn't want to overwhelm them with
information they really wasn't prepared for. How ever, you on the other
hand and those like you, have little mans disease. I can understand that
since I've seen a lot of it in my life time. Its caused by being afraid
that some one may find out that you are not what you portray yourself as to
be..

Keep it up, you only prove more each time that you're just a retarded
immature nitwit, that kicks their feet when they don't get their way..

Welcome to the new age of hand me out, brand dead, clueless, lazy
social program loving scum bags, like yourself.

Yes, that's you!..

Useless to society and a waste of space you occupy..

Its hard to believe, that little immature brain of yours can generate
enough energy to operate that keyboard.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT
THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
