Grr. Now you are being annoying, Before asking I *did* use Google. Not 
knowing whether CBI was something to do with bochs or usb I searched for 
these before finding an answer.

  cbi interface
  bochs cbi interface
  bochs usb cbi interface
  usb cbi interface

Even then the answer from Google was overly detailed. I thought it would 
be a better idea to ask Ben what he meant, and that would save others 
going through the same process. Note the wording: "For the uninitiated 
like me".
