ABSTRACT:
An arbitration elimination scheme for a bus. In a preferred embodiment, a programmable counter determines when a SCSI bus idle condition is reached and when a portion of an arbitration window for the bus has passed without participants. If there are no participants for arbitration, the SCSI initiator eliminates arbitration by asserting SEL and issuing initiator/target IDS. If any other device attempts to arbitrate at this time, the device sees SEL asserted and does not attempt to participate in arbitration.
