Multiplexed optical busses driven by integrated receivers with the optics,
decoders, and logic-level drivers on the same substrate.  It's the obvious
solution (one I think many companies are working on).


DISCLAIMER:  This opinion is in no way related to my employment with
             Convex Computer Corporation.  (As far as I know we aren't
             working on optical busses, but then I'm not in New Products).
