<p>A computer system coupled to a network is disclosed which provides multiple paths for each serial input/output connection. In the receive mode, the current invention separates serial data frames which are composed of sub-functions/channels into sub-function data streams. The sub-function data streams can then be transferred out one at a time. In the transmit mode, the current invention forms data load patterns from the sub-function data streams. Each data load pattern is formed by selecting the appropriate binary bits from the sub-function data streams and arranging the binary bits selected in the sequence desired. The binary bits of each data load pattern are transmitted serially.</p> |
