Subject:  Two Arbiters in a bus

Hi there,

Glad to write to you. 
I am Young Lee who has an experience of developing PCI bus target device.
Now I am going to develop a board which has several pci masters.

Especially 
I want to connect both pentium-pro(i686) and intel's i960rp to the same
pci bus. In this case, there are two bus arbiter in a bus. I can't find 
what happens in the case of more than one arbiters in a pci bus. 

Could you possibly tell me about this case?
Thank you in advance.

The i960RP PCI bus arbiter can be disabled. I believe that it only implements an arbiter on its secondary PCI bus.
