A computer system (100) includes a monolithic VMEbus backplane (104) and a VME bridge module (102) integrally embedded in the VMEbus backplane. The VME bridge module segments the monolithic VMEbus backplane into the plurality of VME backplane segments. A data signal (115) communicated from one of the plurality of VME backplane segments to another one of the VME backplane segments by the VME bridge module, where the data signal is regenerated by the VME bridge module.
