ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In order to carry out communications among the subsystems of a multiple-bus data processing system without the necessity for providing destination decoding means capable of handling the full addresses of the maximum possible configuration, the destination decoder associated with each message originating Subsystem is provided with the capability for addressing only the ports on its immediate bus. If a destination code from the originating subsystem indicates that the destination subsystem is located on another bus, a comparator senses this condition and manipulates the lower order field of the destination code to steer the message to a port reserved for direct communication with the specified remote bus. The entire original destination code is also transmitted to the remote bus for checking for proper bus destination and for directing the message to the designated destination subsystem on the remote bus. The corres- ponding method for achieving the communication link in the multiple-bus data processing system is inherent in the logic of the apparatus.
