Abstract
An interface system is provided between a source component () and a destination component () having multiple parallel lines for transmitting data or parity bits (--) and one or more spare lines (-). An error detection means () identifies one or more faulty lines. A mapping means () re-routes data or parity from a faulty line to a spare line. A communication link () is provided for communicating the re-routing between the source component () and the destination component (). The error detection and mapping can be repeated to detect and re-route sequential multiple-bit line errors using additional spare lines (-).
