Hi Luis,

I don't see what ROMs have to do with this issue.
Multiple devices on the same bus cannot use the bus at the same time
unless they have appropriate decoding & buffering (This is why a multipack
interface exists).
Even if there is no software accessing all devices on the bus at the same
time,
one device may be trying to drive a signal low, while another device is
trying to
drive it high.
Would you please explain your statement about ROMS?
