Abstract: A communication system for transferring (Peripheral Component Interconnect) PCI and non-PCI data over a non-PCI bus is disclosed. The system bus is a non-PCI bus having an address bus and a data bus for communicating addresses and data. A PCI-compatible peripheral is coupled to the non-PCI bus for transmitting and receiving PCI-compatible data. A non-PCI device is also coupled to the non-PCI bus for transmitting and receiving non-PCI data. In addition, a slave device is also coupled to the non-PCI bus for receiving and transmitting non-PCI data and PCI data. A byte size control line capable of being driven by the PCI-compatible peripheral and the non-PCI device is coupled between the PCI-compatible peripheral, the non-PCI device, and the slave device for indicating whether data appearing on the data bus is from the PCI-compatible peripheral or the non-PCI device, and for indicating how many bytes on the data bus are actually valid, if the data appearing on the non-PCI bus is from the non-PCI device.
