TH7795B - Personal computers with optional system controllers - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention relates to the personal computer and in particular to the personal computer where the capability is provided for the optional system-controlled processor to be provided for the system. According to this invention, the personal computer system was equipped with a high-speed local processor for data. Input/output bus for data A microprocessor directly connected to the local processor bus A direct connector to the local processor bus for optional processor feedback support. and a bus connection controller that is directly connected to the local processor bus and directly connected to the input/output bus for data to provide communication between the local processor bus and the input/output bus for information A bus connection controller is provided to capture the presence of an optional processor supported in the connector. And in response to detection of the presence of an optional processor, the bus connection controller transfers control of the local processor bus from the microprocessor to the processor. optional outcome
