ABSTRACT:
A computer system allows for a hardware structure to participate in the transmission of P1394 packets, which are comprised of command or data blocks from linked list structures in a system memory, is disclosed. The system is able to provide dynamic appending of these command or data blocks to the link list while they are being operated upon. This provides an efficient transaction layer operation, which minimizes signalling between the link list operator or control code, and other hardware features.
