Yes, isochornus is wrong.
Just try dict:
- No definitions found for "isosynchronous"
- 2 definitions found
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Isochronous \I*soch"ro*nous\, a. [Gr. ?; ? equal + ? time.] Same as {Isochronal}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02) [foldoc]:
isochronous <communications> /i:-sok'rn-*s/ A form of data transmission that guarantees to provide a certain minimum {data rate}, as required for time-dependent data such as {video} or {audio}. Isochronous transmission transmits asynchronous data over a synchronous data link so that individual characters are only separated by a whole number of bit-length intervals. This is in contrast to {asynchronous} transmission, in which the characters may be separated by arbitrary intervals, and with {synchronous} transmission [which does what?]. {Asynchronous Transfer Mode} and {High Performance Serial Bus} can provide isochronous service. Compare: {plesiochronous}. [ANIXTER, LAN Magazine 7.93] [Better explanation?] (1999-03-12)
