ABSTRACT:
After a PCI device has commenced a transaction on an external PCI bus to access a PCI device on an internal PCI bus, an external PCI bus bridge implemented in a DS-PCI/ISA bridge device, connected to the internal PCI bus and the external PCI bus, activates a dummy device selection signal (DEVSEL#) on the external PCI bus in advance. This dummy DEVSEL# is automatically activated, without waiting for a response from the PCI device on internal PCI bus specified by the transaction. If external PCI bus bridge does not receive the response from the PCI device on the internal PCI bus, external PCI bus bridge activates a stop signal (STOP#) on the external PCI bus and the transaction is normally concluded.
