<p>A datalink for a system of N computers (110A-110N), and M monitors (110A-110M) and peripheral devices (112A-112M) is described. Separate state machines are provided for each switched computer, and separate state machines (101A-101N, 102A-102M)) for each switched workstation, with a non-intrusive matrix switch (401) disposed there-between. The matrix switch (401) routes the peripheral data streams without intercepting them with a processor. The computer-side state machines and the workstation-side state machines are in a master/slave relationship, respectively, and communicate peripheral data using a half-duplex method of transfer.</p> |
