Abstract
A reconfigurable computer system which includes two computer subsystems, corresponding lines of the system busses of the two computer subsystems being interconnected by solid state switches. Each of the computer subsystems includes a control component, a service processor, which when an error is detected that would render the subsystem inoperative, causes the solid state switches to open to sever the connection between the system busses of the two computer subsystems so that the computer subsystem that has not suffered such a failure can continue to operate. A communication link is also established between the two service processors. Either, or both, service processors can sever the link between them.
