Abstract
Control of a communications path interconnecting separate devices in a digital computer system is provided by only two signals generated and received locally within each device on the path and asserted on a systems-wide basis on two separate lines of the path. The generation and utilization of the control signals is independent of the physical location of the devices on the path, and position-dependent delays in transmission of the signals from one device to another are avoided.
