A disk drive controller including a plurality of processors and a plurality of shared peripheral units. A shared bus couples the peripheral units and the processors. A bi-directional multiplexor selectably couples each of the plurality of processors to the shared bus in response to an owner signal. A set of peripheral-share registers where a first member of the set includes an entry associated with each of the plurality of peripheral units and holds a state value indicating which of the plurality of processors currently owns the associated peripheral unit.
