Abstract

An integrated circuit microprocessor includes storage means coupled to a control unit for receiving from the control unit information regarding how the next bus cycle is to be run. Upon receipt of a bus error signal from a peripheral device, the storage means is reset. If, however, a halt signal accompanies the bus error signal, the storage means is not reset and the bus cycle is rerun when the halt signal terminates.
