Abstract

Data is transferred on respective data transfer paths in an asynchronous manner. Data detecting sections are provided at predetermined positions along the respective data transfer paths. A data detecting devices to detect presence of the data in the respective data detecting sections. A coexistence detecting device is used responsive to the data detecting device to detect simultaneous existence of data in the data detecting sections of a predetermined combination. Data being held in a data holding device is referred to in the corresponding data detecting sections in response to the result of detection by the coexistence detecting device, whereby a plurality of pieces of data are simultaneously referred to among the data being transferred along the data transfer paths in an asynchronous manner.
