A method of configuring a computer system having a processor coupled by a host bus to first and second bus devices causes the processor to transmit on the host bus one or more configuration write commands that include configuration data representing a range of addresses assigned to the second bus device. The configuration data is stored on the first and second bus devices. The processor transmits on the host bus a transaction request directed to an address within a range of addresses assigned to the second bus device. The first bus device determines that it should not transmit a response to the transaction request based on the configuration data stored in the first bus device. The first bus device may include a set of configuration registers for storing configuration data regarding the first bus device and a set of shadow configuration registers for storing configuration data regarding the second bus device.

A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a transmitting apparatus bit by bit checks an own message block on the bus during the transmission and interrupts this message block when a bit which is transmitted as a recessive bit actually appears as a dominant bit on the data bus. 7. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein in order to generate a start block of a message block which interrupts another message block an apparatus possibly utilizes dominant bits present on the data bus. 8. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a receiver continuously checks whether a new start block of a new second message block appears during a transmitted first message block, and that the receiver possibly interrupts the reception of the transmitted first message block and commences the reception of the second, new message block. 9. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein n=4, m=1, k=1 and j=1. 10. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein there are two priority levels for the message blocks. 11. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein a data error is recognized if no recessive bit appears on the data bus after n data bits and no start block is identified. 12. A data bus as claimed in claim 1, wherein after a start block, transmission of a predetermined number of recessive or dominant bits takes place, in dependence on the priority of the message block to be transmitted. 13. A data bus as claimed in 1, wherein said data bus is configured for use in vehicles in order to exchange messages between control apparatus, notably for the immediate transmission of a message block which interrupts other message blocks and ignites an airbag of the vehicle. 14. A data bus for serial data transmission between apparatus which are capable of transmitting and receiving data via the data bus, comprising: recessive and dominant states on the data bus, wherein each of the states have a respective bit value associated therewith; wherein messages are transmitted in message blocks, wherein each message block commences with a start block that includes (n+k) dominant bits and j subsequent recessive bits and that is followed by a data block that includes n data bits and m recessive bits, and wherein n, k, j and m are integers greater than zero; wherein a message block of low priority currently being transmitted can be interrupted by another apparatus in order to transmit a message block of higher priority, wherein the other apparatus generates a new start block on the data bus and subsequently transmits the associated data blocks, wherein an apparatus transmitting a message block on the data bus continuously checks whether a start block appears on the data bus and interrupts the transmission of its data block, if necessary, and wherein a receiver continuously checks whether a new start block of a new second message appears during a transmitted first message block, and that the receiver possible interrupts the reception of the transmitted first message block and commences reception of the second, new message block.
