 I'm working on a new project where I need to link to PICs via fiber
 or plastc fibre. I get some information on OPTOBUS by Motorola and on
 TAXI Chip by HP.
 Actually I've all the appropiate information for the development. But
 I would like to know if anybody on the list have some experiences on
 this subjects. I'll appreciate any kind of comments.

 Thanks in advance.

TAXI Chip is an AMD part and runs at approx 50MHz (if I remember correct).
This is likely to be way too fast (or at least overkill) for the PIC.
