ABSTRACT:
An electronic switching and data transmission system for interconnecting a plurality of buses. A switching network interconnects several multi-drop buses using adapters to connect the buses to the switching network. The adapters implements hardware functions to appear to software as if all devices on the several buses were attached to a single large bus. The system permits higher speed transfer modes by eliminating multi-drop bus limitations.
