    Patent number: 4807184
    Abstract: A modular switching system for connecting a plurality of digital computers to a plurality of computer memories, employing interconnecting digital switching modules. Each module has the capability of recognizing an access request to a computer memory by recognizing a generated address within a range of addresses assigned to that computer memory. The digital switching modules are interconnected with a priority network which permits arbitration between simultaneous requests for access by several digital computers to the same computer memory.
