Abstract: A system for transferring data includes structure (i.e, hardware, software, a combination thereof) for requesting data from a second bus, which data is destined for a first bus; and structure for gaining ownership of the second bus for the purpose of transferring the data from the second bus to the first bus, which structure includes substructure for waiting a programmably variable amount of time to see if additional data is requested by the first bus, before relinquishing control of the second bus.

Abstract translation: 一种用于传递环数据系统包括用于从第二总线，其中数据是发送给第一总线请求数据结构（即，硬件，软件，其组合）; 和结构用于将来自第二总线获得所述第二总线的所有权转移环的目的数据到第一总线，其中结构包括子结构用于等待时间的可编程地可变的量，以看看是否还有其他数据由第一总线请求，前 放弃所述第二总线的控制。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a secondary channel for a point-to-point burst style bus associated with a computer system. The point-to-point bus may originate as a standardized bus from a fibre channel controller. The point-to-point bus connects to another circuit which may be a bridge circuit, a minicomputer or a peripheral device. A secondary channel is also connected to the point-to-point bus and is adapted to share the bus by receiving information having predetermined addresses. The information recieved by the secondary channel can be stored in a memory that is shared with a processor.
