ABSTRACT:
A bridge comprises an interface to a plurality of hosts, an interface to a single-ported storage drive and arbitration logic. The arbitration logic controls and permits concurrent access by the hosts to the single-ported storage drive so that the bridge need not store read or write data being received from or provided to the storage drive.
