ABSTRACT:
A computer system includes a data storage device on the first data bus, a device on the second data bus, and a bridge device capable of storing multiple data transactions for delivery from the second data bus to the first data bus. The bridge device includes a first data storage buffer preassigned to one of the transactions held in the bridge, and a buffer management element that assigns, if necessary, a second data storage buffer to the data transaction when the data associated with the transaction overflows the first data storage buffer.
