Abstract
A computer system includes a data storage device on a first data bus, a requesting device that initiates a delayed request on a second data bus, and a bridge device that delivers the delayed request to the first data bus and, after the requesting device regains control of the second data bus, begins providing data to the requesting device while the data storage device is providing the requested data to the bridge device.
