I never really thought of it that way. I was thinking that data moved
in and out in streams or packets of so many bits. So I thought that
maybe one would have to adjust for the different packet size, which I
thought was directly related to the size of the hardware bus.

I see what you're saying. I stand corrected. Oh well, I tried. And if
anything, learned a few new things. :) Thanks!
