ABSTRACT:
A method for determining and communicating the existence of a hybrid bus In a full-duplex communications system having plurality of nodes, wherein one of the nodes is compliant with the P1394b standard and receives a Self-ID packet from the bus, comprising the acts of examining received Self-ID packets by the P1394b compliant node for the absence of a Speed Code; and presuming the existence of a hybrid bus if any of the received Self-ID packets do not contain a Speed Code.
