The transaction method in the cRIO Java code is synchronized, you cannot execute two transactions at once.

Speculation and FUD seems unhelpful. Perhaps we should stick to actual data and not hearsay? Especially when it comes to a system that's still in Beta, in the hands of 90 teams, and which has no current bugs filed against the I2C software from a quick glance at the Beta tracker.
