 Bus switch coupling for series-coupled address bus sections in a microprocessor - Patent 4016546
The first address bus section is further split by means of an address bus switch which controllably couples each conductor of the first address bus section to a corresponding conductor of a third address bus section.
In extended addressing, the address contained in the second byte of the instruction is used as the higher eight-bits of the address of the operand.
The bus control and coupling circuitry as recited in claim 2 further including preconditioning means coupled to each of said bus conductors of said second group and to said control means for presetting each of said bus conductors of said second group to a predetermined level under control of said control means.

 Information about the computer BUS
VLB 2.0 was later released in 1994 and had a 64-bit bus and a bus speed of 50 MHz.
A computer bus is a method of transmitting data from one part of the computer to another part of the computer.
When this bus was originally released it was a proprietary bus, which allowed only IBM to create peripherals and the actual interface.

In particular it must move that data by putting address 50H into the MAR, the contents of AL into the MDR and waiting for memory to respond by copying the data from the data bus into the memory address specified on the address bus.
The address bus usually has the same number of lines as there are bits in the computer's addresses.
The default interpretation on the VAX is that this is an address.

 isa_bus description
The address and control signal decode logic provides the Read device select pulse signal (negative true) that determines when data from the IO device is passed to the ISA data bus to be read by the processor.
Any IO device interfaced to the PC bus must decode an address, decide whether the address is originating from the host processor or a DMA device, determine the direction of data transfer and, if appropriate, either accept data or provide data at the proper time.
ADDRESS Decoding - AEN and A0-A9 are used to decode a 10 bit ISA address generated by the processor.

 Processor / Memory Address Bus
The address bus is the set of lines that carry information about where in memory the data is to be transferred to or from.
Address bus size is not something that is thought of very often, because it has no direct impact on performance.
The speed of the address bus is the same as the data bus it is matched to.

 The Data Bus/Address Bus
In the same way as an urban bus stops at various locations to pick up or drop off passengers, the computer's buses also have certain "bus stops" at which they call, and where addresses or data can hop on or be deposited.
Source and destination addresses are sent over the address bus and specify a particular location in memory.
The electrical bus inside the computer is the channel around which addresses and data travel.

 PC bus systems
Bus masters are devices capable of initiating any bus cycle (memory read/write, port addressing, etc.) and bus slaves are devices which are not capable of initiating a bus cycle but merely responding to it.
This duplication was necessary because the address lines on the XT bus were latched (the address signals were tied to flip-flops which maintained the address lines logic level until explicitly set to a different value) and this latching process caused propagation delays that would slow down peripheral boards.
The bus mastering was not a complete or perfect implementation due to certain limitations such as a request by a Bus master for 'Bus hand-off' requiring several cycles for completion and the master having to relinquish the bus periodically to allow memory refresh (or do the refresh itself).

 High-Tech Dictionary Definition

The address bus is used to indicate what address in memory or what address on the system bus are to be used in a data transfer operation.
Although the design of the bus is simple, IBM waited until 1987 to publish full specifications for the timings of the data and address lines, so in the early days of PC compatibles, manufacturers had to do their best to figure out how to make adapter boards.
This bus is either a part of the processor bus itself, or in most cases is implemented separately by a dedicated chipset that is responsible for transferring information between the processor bus and the memory bus.

 encoding_tr.doc
While the encoding techniques for instruction address bus are based on the characteristics of sequential data, those for data address buses are based on the principle of locality of data addresses.
This coding uses an extra bit line, an increment bit-line along with the address bus, which is set when the addresses on the bus are sequential, in which case the data on the address bus is not altered.
Since addresses on the instruction address bus are sequential most of the time, we first analyze the characteristics of a completely sequential set of data.

 Motorola 68000 Encyclopedia Article, Definition, History, Biography
The Bus Error and Address Error instructions pushed a large amount of internal state onto the supervisor stack in order to facilitate recovery, and the MOVE from SR instruction was made privileged.
When such code was executed on a machine with a wider address bus, bus errors resulted.
Vectors 3 through 15 were used to report various errors: bus error, address error, illegal instruction, zero division, CHK and CHK2 vector, privilege violation, and some reserved vectors that became line 1010 emulator, line 1111 emulator, and hardware breakpoint.

 Accessing the I/O bus and the address bus
To access the memory address bus, the acfg should address the /dev/mem driver.

 RFC 2734 (rfc2734) - IPv4 over IEEE 1394
SERIAL BUS ADDRESS RESOLUTION PROTOCOL (1394 ARP) Methods to determine the hardware address of a device from its corresponding IP address are inextricably tied to the transport medium utilized by the device.
Within the 64-bit address, the 16-bit node ID (bus ID and physical ID) is analogous to a network hardware address---but 1394 node IDs are variable and subject to reassignment each time one or more nodes are added to or removed from the bus.
Serial Bus is unique in its relevance to both consumer electronic and computer domains and is EXPECTED to form the basis of a home or small office network that combines both types of devices.
