(...) You will miss about 1 in 256 errors that you do not catch earlier using collision detection. I think your error rate per message will be much less than 1 in 256 if you (can?) get the collision detection code right. But we shouldn't argue the (...)

(...) Ok, I took a look at a few of your parts this morning. <flame> The reason people haven't said boo about your parts is because they know it will be wasting their breath. There is still a lot lacking in the parts I viewed. The incessant bugging (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

With much respect, I would suggest that CRC8 is probably not sufficient, especially if we go for a broadcast (Ethernet) solution, where lots of collisions, and hence errors, will probably occur - with CRC8 you will probably miss about 1 in 256 (...)
