Abstract
A work station, including a central processing unit (CPU), first, second and third integrated circuit interface chips connected to an external bus, memory and peripheral unit, respectively, and a local bus connected to the CPU and interface chips. Each chip includes an internal bus interconnecting operating units disposed therein. Each interface chip is adapted to operate at the same clock frequency as the CPU, but with operational signals generated on its respective internal bus independently of the CPU.
