Abstract
A computer system that includes a computer chassis containing an IEEE 1394 bus and peripheral devices. The computer system includes a CPU, a memory, and a bridge logic unit coupling the CPU to the memory. Peripheral devices in the computer system chassis couple to the bridge logic unit through the IEEE 1394 bus. The bridge logic unit couples directly to the peripheral devices in the computer chassis. The bridge logic unit includes a memory controller, CPU interface, IEEE 1394 interface and AGP interface. The IEEE 1394 interface couples to the IEEE 1394 bus. The bridge logic unit includes a number of queue storage elements that couple the IEEE 1394 interface to the memory controller, CPU interface, and AGP interface.
