Abstract: The computer system uses a process to test a second protocol converter 58 with the aid of a first converter 56. The data structure of a specific protocol A is converted into a second protocol B data structure. The test process has the computer system 50 with a slow protocol coupled to the first converter 56 and is then coupled to the fast response protocol interface 49 of the converter being tested. An interface 48 connects peripherals to this converter. The process operates to obtain symmetry in the conversion.
