	Amazon.com: Phantom Islands of the Atlantic: The Legends of Seven Lands That Never Were: Books: Donald S. Johnson
		Brendan, a sixth-century Irish monk, was said to have discovered the islands that came to bear his name on a seven-year voyage that may have been a religious fantasy.
		Johnson also tells of the tantalizing searches for Frisland, Buss Island, the Isle of Seven Cities and Hy-Brazil, a foggy green isle off the west coast of Ireland that was eyed as a midway station for trade to the Orient.
		From the Isle of Demons, born of a fable invented by pious Christians, to the elusive Buss Island, the creation of an ambitious explorer, these places of the imagination are a fascinating legacy of a bygone age.

	buss \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		Buss Island is a phantom island believed to have existed in the 16th century.
		There are busses both within the CPU and connecting it to external memory and peripheral devices.
		Some processors have internal busses which are wider than their external busses (usually twice the width) since the width of the internal bus affects the speed of all operations and has less effect on the overall system cost than the width of the external bus.

	Buss Island
		This Atlantic island was first "discovered" in 1578 by Frobisher's third Arctic expedition.
		For decades, this island appeared on maps somewhere between Ireland and Frisland.
		In 1745, a Dutch map made the suggestion that the island had sunk leaving only a sandbar there, and for the next few decades the island was called the "Sunken Land of Buss." In 1776, soundings at the location indicated shallows, and 40 years later more soundings indicated a depth of 1080 feet.

	Cabinet Magazine Online - Confections of Zeno
		Frobisher fought his way through storms and across icy seas to present-day Canada and, believing he had found a clear route to Asia at the third attempt, decided to return to England in triumph—with a shipful of fl rock that was thought to contain gold, but turned out to be worthless.
		Indeed in 1898, the British geographer Frederick Lucas wrote a meticulous, schoolmasterish demolition of Zeno’s account, in which he observed that the antedating of the map could be seen as an indirect claim for the discovery of America by a Venetian—scoring a point or two against rival Genoa, Columbus’s city of origin.
		Even Frisland was not entirely his invention—Catalan maps and Italian portolanos of the fifteenth century contain islands variously called Fisland, Fixlanda, and Frislanda, widely thought to be versions of “Fishland,” and to refer to Iceland or the Faroes, both known for their plentiful supplies of fish.

		Buss' well-reasoned assertions, while appealing to the widest number of engineers and technologists, contrasted sharply with his earlier statements that low-voltage CMOS has run out of gas.
		In his presentation Monday (Feb. 4), Buss affirmed that the economics of system-on-chip integration point to low-voltage CMOS processes, and it is therefore incumbent on those attempting to integrate outboard devices on-chip to find ways of using CMOS with a minimal amount of additional masking steps.
		Buss concluded that there is both good news and bad news to the speculation that Moore's Law will yield diminishing returns toward the end of this decade: The bad news is that Moore's Law could run out of gas.

		On a small island located at the mouth of what would become known as Frobisher Bay but was, at the time, considered to be the Northwest Passage to China, he discovered an abundance of a fl stone that, once tested, revealed an incredibly high percentage of gold.
		The island was named after the type of ship that discovered it: the Emmanuel was a buss, a small but sturdy two or three masted herring fishing vessel.

	Bio: Robert Buss
		The earliest member of the family we can trace, for our purposes here, is Robert Buss, a well-educated young man, who settled in the village of Bromley in Kent, about the year 1775, holding the appointment of warrant officer under the Excise Department of the Government.
		The district allotted to him being large, he was required to keep a horse, and pay periodical visits to the neighbouring distilleries, breweries, tallow and glass melters, and numerous other trades and factories whose productions were assessed to pay excise duties for the exchequer.
		But, where the excise officials were conscientious as well as vigilant in the exercise of their duties, as was the case with Robert Buss in Tunbridge, the exchequer obtained its due, not, certainly, without grumbling from John Bull, but because John possessed a large bump of patriotism.

	Phantom Islands of the Atlantic: The Legends of Seven Lands That Never Were - From Monitor-Data.com Store
		Johnson traces the birth, lives, and deaths of seven of these elusive islands of the Atlantic--including their towns, villages, and exotic inhabitants such as St. Ursula and her 11,000 virgin companions (what a lure this must have been to lusty sailors!)--from maps and ship's logs.
		The islands may exist, but they may be completely different than they were thought to be.
		Johnson gives an all-too brief description of the "phantom island" at issue, then launches into an exhaustive recitation of the island's appearance on maps; how so and so in 1524 put the island here, while such and such twenty years later moved it ten miles further south.
