ABSTRACT:
A fast data write method for transferring data from a computer system to a storage system in a single tasking operating environment. A fast write flag is set in order to reflect the ready or busy state of the storage system. A processor of the computer system ends the storage data write cycle as soon as the data has been sent to the storage system. Thus, the processor does not waste any processor time after the data is sent, and transfers are made without compromising integrity of the data.
