ABSTRACT:
A method of responding to a request for data over a bus structure, such as a SCSI bus. Upon receiving a request, a data storage device releases control of the bus and accumulates the requested data in a buffer. Before the data has been completely accumulated, the device acquires control of the bus and begins transmitting the data over the bus. The beginning of transmission occurs late enough that the transmission can occur in a single burst. If the data can be transmitted over the bus in a time period t.sub.burst, then the beginning of transmitting should begin substantially a t.sub.burst period before the time at which the buffer completes accumulating the requested data.
