Registers
ERMP
Enable Read Multiple
2
If this bit is set and cache mode is enabled, a Read
Multiple command is used on all read cycles when it is
legal.
BOF
Burst Opcode Fetch Enable
1
Setting this bit causes the LSI53C875A to fetch
instructions in burst mode. Specifically, the chip bursts in
the first two Dwords of all instructions using a single bus
ownership. If the instruction is a Memory-to-Memory
Move type, the third Dword is accessed in a subsequent
bus ownership. If the instruction is an indirect type, the
additional Dword is accessed in a subsequent bus
ownership. If the instruction is a table indirect block move
type, the chip accesses the remaining two Dwords in a
subsequent bus ownership, thereby fetching the four
Dwords required in two bursts of two Dwords each. If
prefetch is enabled, this bit has no effect. This bit also
has no effect on fetches out of SCRIPTS RAM.
MAN
Manual Start Mode
0
Setting this bit prevents the LSI53C875A from
automatically fetching and executing SCSI SCRIPTS
when the
register is
written. When this bit is set, the Start DMA bit in the
register must be set to begin SCRIPTS
execution. Clearing this bit causes the LSI53C875A to
automatically begin fetching and executing SCSI
SCRIPTS when the DSP register is written. This bit
normally is not used for SCSI SCRIPTS operations.
