ABSTRACT:
A circuit for interfacing a processor with a host processor is provided that has a memory associated with the processor that is selectively accessible by either both the processors or by the host processor, a plurality of storage devices selectively interconnectable with the memory and host processor, and a logic circuit interconnected with the storage devices and processors for interconnecting at least a portion of the storage devices to the memory in response to signals from the processors. An integrated circuit is provided that has a microprocessor, a memory associated with said processor that is selectively accessible by said microprocessor or a host processor, a plurality of storage devices selectively interconnectable with said memory and said host processor, and a logic circuit interconnected with said storage devices and interconnectable with said processors for interconnecting at least a portion of said storage devices to said memory in response to signals from said processors.
