The following editorial comments have been received through June 6, 1996.
■ Page xx add a paragraph before the paragraph starting “Sample implemen-
tations ...” to describe the use of this material by component manufacturers.
“This document is one of those needed by vendors building chips and adaptors for use in these platforms. Component manufacturers must produce
components which conform to this architecture.”
■ Change the second paragraph on page xxiii to read “Big-Endian numbering
of bytes is used in this document, unless indicated otherwise. Numbering of
bits starts at zero for the most significant bit and continues to the least significant bit, unless indicated otherwise.”
■ Change the third paragraph on page xxiii to indicate the table number. “Ty-

on page 18. This paragraph should now read as follows:
“The description column ... Two documents are referenced extensively using
an abbreviation in this description column. The abbreviations are as follows:
[20] refers to the PowerPC Microprocessor Common Hardware Reference
Platform: I/O Device Reference. Use this document for additional information on the annotated specifications.
[23] refers to the Macintosh Technology in the Common Hardware Reference Platform. Use this document for specific physical, timing, and electrical requirements of the annotated specifications.”
■ Remove the two instances of the phrase “(see note 1)” in the Specifications
column for the Pointing Device row in Table 2 on page 19.

BIO + (8MB - 1) are reserved for hardware use. HBs may treat ...”
■ At the bottom of page 37 add a note which should read as follows:
“Software Implementation Note: When in the discontiguous I/O mode
software should not put out an operation to Peripheral I/O Space which
crosses a 32-byte boundary. Results from such operations are
