Abstract

A computer system includes a centerplane formed by a printed circuit board. The centerplane has a plurality of Desktop PCI electrical connectors on one side and a plurality of CompactPCI electrical connectors on the other. This allows the use of both Desktop and CompactPCI boards in a signal bus board, without requiring complex bridging circuits. In addition, this allows additional boards to be used without extending the length of the PCI bus.
