PCI address/data stepping

Q: What is meant by the phase "PCI address/data stepping"?

A: Don't ask. Apple does not support this, since it requires the address/data lines to be asserted sequentially, thereby using less peak current. However, it takes more PCI cycles to implement this method and therefore the throughput is slower.
