Protocol versus hardware?

New page

==Protocol versus hardware==

The header for this category says it's for 'Chaos protocol' stuff, not Chaos hardware; but [[Chaosnet interface]] just got put here? I am thinking of re-naming this one to 'Chaos Protocol'; and also maybe setting up a new 'Chaos Hardware' category?

I had previously [[Chaosnet#Chaos hardware and protocol|explored]] the possibility of splitting the [[Chaosnet]] article into separate 'Chaos protocol' and 'Chaos hardware' articles, but I had decided not to, because some of the content, like the early history, would not easily split (so either it would have to be duplicated, or moved into a ''third'' article). Maybe we should just bite the bullet and split it? [[User:Jnc|Jnc]] ([[User talk:Jnc|talk]]) 16:10, 30 July 2024 (CEST)

I had started nudging in the direction of the split, here, by using ' ''Chaos'' protocol' and ' ''Chaosnet'' hardware', so that we could use the short forms ('Chaos' and 'Chaosnet') without any ambiguity. Let me look though all the contemporary documentation and see if 'Chaosnet' was ever used of the protocol. Until I have managed to figure that out, I will leave all the protocol-related articles where they are, and only move Chaosnet hardware-related things to a new [[:Category:Chaosnet Hardware]].
