ABSTRACT:
A methodology and implementing system are provided in which PCI system configuration data is made available to a host X86 system CPU through an intermediate PowerPC system. A bus converter circuit connected between the X86 bus and the PowerPC bus is effective to translate configuration addresses between the X86 and the PowerPC system. A PCI host bridge arrangement includes a primary PCI host bridge circuit and a plurality of secondary peer PCI host bridge circuits. The primary host bridge circuit is effective to process configuration data requests from the bus converter circuit which are directed to any of the secondary PCI host bridge circuits.
