18. For each individual computer the maximum practical card transfer speed in time mode can be experimentally verified by noting the frequency of the clock at which the DMA acknowledge signal just begins to overlap with the DMA request signal.
19. Strictly speaking the photon detection process is a doubly stochastic Poisson point process (see Ref. 20), but it is well approximated by a homogenous Poisson point process for the relatively long time scales of interest here.
