ABSTRACT:
An improvement in a bus converter that provides a bus to bus address translation function permitting access from an I/O device connected on the I/O bus to a system bus and system memory, where the bus converter includes a circuit connected to the I/O bus to partition I/O addresses received from the I/O bus into a lower order field and a high order field and connected to a circuit to receive DMA ID's from the I/O bus to combine this DMA ID with the high order field to form a first combined address. The first combined address is input to a memory which provides corresponding control field and prefix field data. An address formatter is further included that is connected to receive the control field and prefix field data from the memory and further connected to receive the low order address field. The address formatter forms a second combined address from the prefix field, control field and lower order address field. This second combined address is then provided to a system bus to permit access to the system bus.
