Purpose

This note provides a functional description of the first revision of the RN1 router (RN1B). This note is formatted as a component datasheet.

Unfotunately, the datasheet itself is not in a machine-independent form. For a hardcopy of the data-sheet, send electrontic mail to Henry Minsky (hqm @ai.mit.edu) or Andre DeHon (andre @ai.mit.edu).
