A local area network (LAN) controller proprietary bus is disclosed comprised of a multiprocessor ( mu P) bus, a direct memory access bus, and an adapter bus. The bus permits the attachment of various computer elements while providing other integrity and communication functions to other computer elements or computer systems beyond the bus. The proprietary bus includes an adapter interface having up to four daughterboards. Each daughterboard has odd and even numbered connectors. Certain daughterboards are designed to handle control lines; whereas other daughterboards handle data and address lines. These daughterboards are the hardware means by which communications with LANs which are attached to the proprietary bus are accomplished with processes, disks, tapes, memories, attached to the proprietary bus. |
