Author's Intent
[edit]This article is intended as a replacement for the article: Binary Synchronous Transmission. I have borrowed two sentence fragments from that article. The redirect from "Bisync" should be changed after this article has been wikified.Rdmoore6 20:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- I've picked up some missing bits from Binary Synchronous Transmission and made it redirect here. Guy Harris 02:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Missing material
[edit]Expanding the Applications section would be good. I implemented Bisync support for IPSANET in 1978 and could provide a few examples. Much of my experience is removed from the conventional IBM OS/360 software area so I am unable to comment accurately on IBM SW.
I was unable to find much material on the Transcode alphabet.Rdmoore6 20:51, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
"Correct" acronym format
[edit]The article included the acronym variously a BiSync, bisync, and Bisync (I've also seen BISYNC). I googled ibm.com and believe the Bisync form is "most correctest" and have changed the article accordingly. Out of the first 20 IBM hits I found ten "Bisync", four "bisync", one "BiSync", and five "BISYNC". The original undated "General Information" manual seems to use only "BSC".

Framing
[edit]The section on "Framing" seemed somewhat incoherent and appeared to contain text merged from various sources including redundancies, etc. I reworked it to some extent based on the Bisync General Info" manual I've cited. It isn't complete, but is hopefully a bit better. Peter Flass (talk) 00:28, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
