1. A spatially separated computer system, comprising:

  • a first connectivity station having a first interface adapted to serially exchange parallel bus data thereacross;

    a computing module disposed in the first connectivity station and including a processing unit adapted to create the parallel bus data on a system bus coupled to the first interface;

    a first module remotely positioned relative to the first connectivity station and having an interface coupled to the first connectivity station first interface via a serial communications link, wherein the first module is adapted to cooperate with the processing unit; and

    wherein the first module and the first connectivity station serially transfer the parallel bus data therebetween via the serial communications link and collectively operate as a single computer.
