ABSTRACT:
A protocol controller connected between a SCSI device and a DMA controller. The SCSI device is connected to the protocol controller with a first bus and the DMA controller is connected to the protocol controller with a second bus having a width less than a width of the first bus. The protocol controller communicates with the SCSI device so that it transfers data having a width equivalent to the width of the second bus. Other data concurrently transferred by the SCSI device over the first data bus is ignored and not transferred to the DMA controller.
