Block Move and Chained Block Move Instructions

2.2.17.1 Wide SCSI Send Bit

The WSS bit is set whenever the SCSI controller is sending data
(Data-Out for initiator or Data-In for target) and the controller detects a
partial transfer at the end of a chained Block Move SCRIPTS instruction
(this flag is not set if a normal Block Move instruction is used). Under this
condition, the SCSI controller does not send the low-order byte of the last
partial memory transfer across the SCSI bus. Instead, the low-order byte
is temporarily stored in the lower byte of the

SCSI Output Data Latch

(SODL)

register and the WSS flag is set. The hardware uses the WSS

flag to determine what behavior must occur at the start of the next data
send transfer. When the WSS flag is set at the start of the next transfer,
the first byte (the high-order byte) of the next data send transfer is
“married” with the stored low-order byte in the SODL register; and the
