SCSI Functional Description 2-33
SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register, then the least significant byte or
the most significant byte in the SODL register is full. Checking
this bit also reveals bytes left in the SODL register from a
Chained Move operation with an odd byte count.
Synchronous SCSI Send –
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test
Five (CTEST5) register cleared), look at the DMA FIFO
(DFIFO) and DMA Byte Counter (DBC) registers and calculate
if there are bytes left in the DMA FIFO. To make this calculation,
subtract the seven least significant bits of the DBC register from
the 7-bit value of the DFIFO register. AND the result with 0x7F
for a byte count between zero and 112.
If the DMA FIFO size is set to 944 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test
Five (CTEST5) register is set), subtract the 10 least significant
bits of the DMA Byte Counter (DBC) register from the 10-bit
value of the DMA FIFO Byte Offset Counter, which consists of
bits [1:0] in the
Chip Test Five (CTEST5) register and bits [7:0]
of the DMA FIFO (DFIFO) register. AND the result with 0x3FF
for a byte count between zero and 944.
Step 2. Read bit 5 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the
SODL register. If bit 5 is set in the SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register,
then the least significant byte or the most significant byte in the
SCSI Output Data Latch (SODL) register is full. Checking this
bit also reveals bytes left in the SODL register from a Chained
Move operation with an odd byte count.
Step 3. Read bit 6 in the SCSI Status Zero (SSTAT0) and SCSI Status
Two (SSTAT2) registers to determine if any bytes are left in the
SODR register (a hidden buffer register which is not
accessible). If bit 6 is set in the SSTAT0 or SSTAT2 register,
then the least significant byte or the most significant byte in the
SODR register is full.
Asynchronous SCSI Receive –
Step 1. If the DMA FIFO size is set to 112 bytes (bit 5 of the Chip Test
Five (CTEST5) register cleared), look at the DFIFO and DMA
Byte Counter (DBC) registers and calculate if there are bytes
