Yes, another option is to use the secondary PCI bus of the Intel® 80312 I/O Companion Chip only, instead of the primary PCI bus. With this configuration, you would not need an external arbiter on the secondary side because the secondary PCI bus has one integrated into it. Even though the primary PCI bus is not being used, you still must properly terminate the primary PCI bus.
