transmission. This bit is similar to Rdy4Tx (Register C, BufEvent, Bit 8) except that there is no
interrupt associated with Rdy4TxNOW. The host can poll the CS8900A and check
Rdy4TxNOW to determine if the CS8900A is ready for transmit. (See Section 5.7 on page 99
for a description of the transmit bid process.)
These bits provide an internal address used by the CS8900A to identify this as the Bus Status
If set, the host has commanded the CS8900A to transmit a frame that the CS8900A will not
