The peripheral bus connector for improved aggregation of resources of a device
on the peripheral bus includes a plurality of aggregation pins, in addition to
the pins according to the peripheral bus standard. Signals from a controller on
an extended peripheral bus adapter sends and receives signals in addition to standard
signals of the peripheral bus through the aggregation pins. The aggregated device
is hidden from third parties, and its existence is known only to the controller
on the extended peripheral bus adapter. In this manner, resources are aggregated
across a peripheral bus without needing the addition of another controller and
without the need to redefine standard peripheral bus signals. In addition, standard
peripheral bus adapters may still be used in the connector if resource aggregation
is not desired.
