I apologize if it is considered a  cross-posting.  http://www.classiccmp.org/    / When the bus master requests block mode DMA, it 6 inserts BS7 when inserting the first DIN. If the slave0 is capable of block mod DMA, it inserts REF when5 inserting RPLY. The master removes BS7 when inserting * the last DIN to finish the block mode DMA.  . My question is, what will happen if the master3 finishes the DMA cycle early? The same question is, 6 what will happen if the master keeps BS7 inserted when3 inserting the last DIN? Will the slave malfunction?   4 It seems a small violation of the protocol. It seems3 the bus master needs to predict the availability of  Data otherwise.    Thanks.    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 16 May 2004 19:14:57 +0200   From: "Dr. Dweeb" <dr@dweeb.com> Subject: Re: Suggested reading- Message-ID: <c887ik$2nto$1@news.cybercity.dk>    This is a subscription item.   John Smith wrote:  > The lunatic you work for > May 6th 2004" > From The Economist print edition >  >  > F > If the corporation were a person, would that person be a psychopath? >  >  >  > L http://economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=S%27%2984%28Q%217%21%23%40%21 > %2C%0A   ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 16 May 2004 10:51:27 -0400 # From: "John Smith" <a@nonymous.com>   Subject: [OT]: Suggested reading, Message-ID: <_K6dnaod17Jo4jrdRVn-hQ@igs.net>   The lunatic you work for May 6th 2004  From The Economist print edition      D If the corporation were a person, would that person be a psychopath?      L http://economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=S%27%2984%28Q%217%21%23%40%21 %2C%0A   ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2004.271 ************************  
