Multiplexor, that was it.

Now er.... explain why your link to a DE-multiplexer looks like what I\'d call a multiplexer? I say multiplexer when I mean something that splits something into parts. For example allowing four PCI-E devices to connect to one bus, alternately.

So for how long will your latest sickening tete-a-tete between you and the
Scottish wanker go on, lowbrowwoman? A few days, weeks, or months again?

Yet more of the very interesting senile blather by lowbrowwoman:

Only if it\'s bidirectional, i.e. a transmission gate. If it\'s
logic-based, not so. For instance, a 74HC138 is only a demux, and a
74HC158 is only a mux.

Ah, I only have bidirectional ones. PCI Express bus sharing chips. You\'re not supposed to plug 12 graphics cards into one motherboard!
