Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a system and method for conversion of addresses of varying bit lengths between a bus and a device controller. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method that uses a simple method to convert address data from one format and length to another in order to communicate between an industry standard bus and existing proprietary logic for device controllers. A device, method and computer program for communicating between a device controller and an industry standard bus. This device method and computer program requires no modification of the core logic of the device driver even though the data and commands transmitted between the device controller and the bus require a different format and different length commands. This device utilizes a convert and store logic unit to convert commands from the core unit to a reduced bit format suitable for the industry standard bus.
