Figure 8 shows an example of transfers with a negotiated transfer period of 6.25 ns at the receiving SCSI
device’s connector. There is no difference as to when data is latched on paced transfers, however, the relation-
ship between the data and REQ or ACK is required to be adjusted in the SCSI devices receiver to match the
synchronous transfers DT Data shown in Figure 5. For paced transfers, the clocking signal (i.e., REQ or ACK)
may occur when the data bus is changing state.

Example: A negotiated transfer period of 25 ns equates to a
transfer rate of 40 megatransfers per second.
