Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1,2c1,5

This is sending data down the line one character at a time.
It differs to synchronous transmission in that only one end of the transmission media can communicate at any point in time.

This is sending data down the line without synchronisisation to an external clock.
