    Abstract: This invention relates to personal computers, and more particularly to personal computers in which capability is provided for continuance of processing through an occurrence of a RESET signal while avoiding systems failures. The personal computer system has a high speed local processor data bus; an input/output data bus; a resettable microprocessor coupled directly to the local processor bus; and a bus interface controller coupled directly to the local processor bus and directly to the input/output data bus for providing communications between the local processor bus and input/output data bus. The bus interface controller provides for arbitration among devices directly coupled to the input/output data bus for access to the input/output data bus and to the local processor bus and for arbitration among the input/output data bus and the microprocessor for access to the local processor bus. The bus interface controller further recognizes receipt of a reset signal intended to initiate a reset of the microprocessor and defers delivery of a reset signal to until the bus interface controller has barred access to the local processor bus and input/output bus by any of the devices potentially requesting such access.

    Abstract: This invention relates to personal computers, and more particularly to personal computers in which performance is enhanced by enabling arbitration for control over a local processor bus among a plurality of "master" devices coupled directly to the local processor bus. A personal computer system in accordance with this invention has a high speed local processor data bus; an input/output data bus; at least two master devices coupled directly to the local processor bus; and a bus interface controller coupled directly to the local processor bus and directly to the input/output data bus for providing communications between the local processor bus and input/output data bus, with the bus interface controller providing for arbitration among the master devices coupled directly to the local processor bus for access to the local processor bus, and providing for arbitration among the local processor bus and any devices coupled directly to the input/output data bus for access to the input/output data bus.

    Abstract: This invention relates to personal computers, and more particularly to personal computers in which capability is provided for the usual system controlling processor to be reset, initialized and then isolated if an alternate system controller is provided for the system. In accordance with this invention, a personal computer system has a high speed local processor data bus; an input/output data bus; a microprocessor coupled directly to the local processor bus; a connector coupled directly to the local processor bus for accommodating reception of an alternate processor; and a bus interface controller coupled directly to the local processor bus and directly to the input/output data bus for providing communications between the local processor bus and the input/output data bus, with the bus interface controller providing for detection of the presence of an alternate processor received in the connector and, in response to detection of the presence of an alternate processor, transferring control of the local processor bus from the microprocessor to the alternate processor.
