#183533 - re: 1 byte - MDB Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
Yes, I think that the vending machine MDB protocol is unusual in using the 9th bit to also mark the endof a message

 ... as Per has said a receiving entity could sync on that other byte as the start of a packet.  Note that MDB sets the 9th bit at the end of a Slave (response) message only - it does not set it at the end of a Master (command) message. Thus there can be no confusion as to whether it signifies the start or end of an MDB message.  |

                            Protocol should preferably support dry-counting for EOP pos        | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| At least 1 packet less (sic) | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Neither! | 01/01/70 00:00 |
