Abstract
A bridge translates addresses between a first bus and a second bus, with a larger address space capability. The bridge stores "high address" information and combines that information with address information from a device on the first bus when the device desires to transfer information from the first bus to the second bus. The bridge accesses high address information using information identifying the device.
