• Manufacturer Part Number: AM79C970AKCW
• Description: PCnet-PCI II Single-Chip Full-Duplex Ethernet Controller for PCI Local Bus Product
• Manufacturer: AMD [Advanced Micro Devices]

Bus Master DMA Transfers
There are four primary types of DMA transfers. The
PCnet-PCI II controller uses non-burst as well as burst
cycles for read and write access to the main memory.
Basic Non-Burst Read Transfer
By default, the PCnet-PCI II controller uses non-burst
cycles in all bus master read operations. All
PCnet-PCI II controller non-burst read accesses are of
the PCI command type Memory Read (type 6). Note that
during a non-burst read operation, all byte lanes will al-
ways be active. The PCnet-PCI II controller will inter-
nally discard unneeded bytes.

The PCnet-PCI II controller typically performs more
than one non-burst read transactions within a single bus
mastership period. FRAME is dropped between con-
secutive non-burst read cycles. REQ however stays
asserted until FRAME is asserted for the last
transaction. The PCnet-PCI II controller supports zero
wait state read cycles. It asserts IRDY immediately after
the address phase and at the same time starts
sampling DEVSEL.
