Not to be pedantic, but that's the /cd part mate,

CSMA/CD = Carrier Sense Multi-Access/Collision Detect.

CSMA is the signal carrier, the cd parts is to detect, pause, clean up and resend signals corrupted by collisions.

It is internationally standardized in IEEE 802.3 and ISO 8802.3.

ibus / kbus protocol is based on ISO-9141 but has a few differences....
Looking at the ISO-9141 spec then you are probably right (lol, you are in most things, re the i-bus).

I will bow to your better knowledge mate, It was just a guess, based on the way that the i-bus interface works (and what I've read before).

OP ignore my wild ramblings Jochens the man.
