Information specifying the number of bytes and which bytes are involved in a VMEbus transfer
is sent on data strobe lines DS1* and DS0*, address line A01, and the LWORD* line. During
MXIbus transfers, the same information is transferred on the Size line, and Address/Data lines 1
and 0 (AD01 and AD00). The VMEbus transfer size information is converted into MXIbus
transfer size information during a MXIbus master transfer. Table 6-4 compares this information
for the VMEbus and the MXIbus.
