Block Move Instructions 6-5
Figure 6.1 SCRIPTS Overview
6.3 Block Move Instructions
The Block Move SCRIPTS instruction is used to move data between the
SCSI bus and memory. For a Block Move instruction, the LSI53C810A
operates much like a chaining DMA device with a SCSI controller
attached.
Figure 6.2 illustrates the register bit values that represent a
Block Move instruction. In Block Move instructions, bits 5 and 4 (SIOM
and DIOM) in the
DMA Mode (DMODE) register determine whether the
source/destination address resides in memory or I/O space. When data
is being moved onto the SCSI bus, SIOM controls whether that data
comes from I/O or memory space. When data is being moved off of the
SCSI bus, DIOM controls whether that data goes to I/O or memory
space.
