Abstract
A hot reconfigurable parallel bus bridging circuit is provided in a computer system which enables the computer system to communicate, via a peripheral port, with any one of plurality of incompatible standardized parallel bus systems. The hot reconfigurability of the bridging circuit of the present invention is accomplished using software to reconfigure or reprogram the various combinational logic gates, wait-state generators, and registers of the bridging circuit while the computer system is operating, without removing the bridging circuit from the computer system. The flexible hardware architecture of the present invention allows the computer system which houses this hardware to communicate with virtually any type of parallel bus system.
