ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system and method for passing Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) legacy interrupts across Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) connectors. The system interconnects a plurality of PCI devices coupled to a PCI bus such that a last interrupt pin of each of the plurality of PCI devices are coupled together in a directly bussed manner to provide a serial interrupt signal line. The remainder of the interrupt pins of each of the plurality of PCI devices are coupled together in a barber pole manner.
