• Description: PCnetTM-SCSI Combination Ethernet and SCSI Controller for PCI Systems
• Manufacturer: AMD [Advanced Micro Devices]

Master Initiated Termination
There are three scenarios besides normal completion of
a transaction where the Am79C974 controller will termi-
nate the cycles it produces on the PCI bus. These are
Preemption with and without FRAME assertion and
Master Abort.
Preemption When FRAME is Deasserted
The Am79C974 controller can generate multiple ad-
dress phases during a single bus ownership period

DATA
when transferring data. FRAME is deasserted in be-
tween two address phases. While FRAME is deass-
erted, the central arbiter can remove GNT to the
Am79C974 controller at any time to service another
master. When GNT is removed, the Am79C974 control-
ler will finish the current transfer and then release the
bus. It will keep REQ asserted to regain bus ownership
as soon as possible.
