Abstract
A method of addressing a memory device on a memory module includes determining whether a command has been issued to the memory module. An evaluation state is entered if the command has been issued. While in the evaluation state, it is determined whether an identification signal has been issued for the memory device to initiate action. Action is initiated if the identification signal indicates that the memory device is to respond to the command issued.
