Abstract
A method of data interchange within one or a network of microcomputers, wherein the microcomputers each have plural devices engaged for communication over a bus structure, the method including the steps of installing a TCP/IP protocol instruction set in each of the devices and in an operating system of each of the microcomputers in the network, and directing data transfers between the devices of all of the microcomputers over the bus structures of all of the microcomputers using packet switching protocol, thereby enabling said data transfers to be made within each of the microcomputers and between the microcomputers.
