ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a desktop personal computer (PC) system having peripheral device bus mastering. The system has four main elements: a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller, a hardware state machine, a bus controller, and a device controller. The device controller may be an IDE hard disk controller which is able to generate long streams of data in an intermittent fashion wherein any single stream of data is targeted to a number of different host memory locations. The device controller may also be an ECP parallel port controller which interfaces with a number of different peripheral devices over a parallel bus wherein each peripheral device appears to the system as a separate and independent data path.
