ABSTRACT:
In a control module having a central processor coupled through a system bus including data, address and control lines to access a data memory, a direct access apparatus is included coupled through the system bus to request a hold of the central processor and upon acknowledgement for directly accessing the data memory through the system bus for directing the control registers of a host machine. Also included are a diriment element interfaced to the central processor for receipt of control signals on the system bus from the direct access apparatus for hold request and for transmission of first and second control signals on the system bus from the central processor for acknowledgement, and a timed protocol unit for supervising the data, address and control signals transported on the system bus. The timed protocol unit comprises an address control coupled through the system bus to the central processor for disenabling address signals upon receipt of the first acknowledgement signal on the system bus from the diriment element, and a data control coupled through the system bus to the central processor for bidirectionally disenabling data signals upon receipt of the second acknowledge signal on the system bus from the diriment element.
