  • Platform-independent communications protocol supporting communications between a processor and subsystem controller based on identifying information
    Patent number: 6078968
    Abstract: A method and apparatus implement a communications protocol whereby a host application program can communicate with a computer subsystem without the use of special driver software. In this way, the application program is able to invoke virtually any vendor-unique function on a compatible subsystem controller using only standard read/write system calls. This avoids platform dependency and greatly improves the portability of the application program.
