2.3.2.12

Memory Read Multiple Command

This command is identical to the Memory Read command, except it
additionally indicates that the master intends to fetch multiple cache lines
before disconnecting. The LSI53C1020 supports PCI Memory Read
Multiple functionality when operating in the PCI mode and determines
when to issue a Memory Read Multiple command instead of a Memory
Read command.

Burst Size Selection – The Read Multiple command reads multiple
cache lines of data during a single bus ownership. The number of cache
lines the LSI53C1020 reads is a multiple of the cache line size, which
Revision 2.2 of the PCI specification provides. The LSI53C1020 selects
the largest multiple of the cache line size based on the amount of data
to transfer.

2.3.2.13

Split Completion Command

Split transactions in PCI-X replace the delayed transactions in
conventional PCI. The LSI53C1020 supports up to eight outstanding split
transactions when operating in the PCI-X mode. A split transaction
consists of at least two separate bus transactions: a split request, which
the requester initiates, and one or more split completion commands,
which the completer initiates. Revision 1.0a of the PCI-X addendum
permits split transaction completion for the Memory Read Block, Alias to
Memory Read Block, Memory Read Dword, Interrupt Acknowledge,
I/O Read, I/O Write, Configuration Read, and Configuration Write
commands. When operating in the PCI-X mode, the LSI53C1020
supports the Split Completion command for all of these commands
except the Interrupt Acknowledge command, which the LSI53C1020
neither responds to nor generates.

2.3.2.14

Dual Address Cycles Command

The LSI53C1020 performs Dual Address Cycles (DACs), according to
the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. The LSI53C1020 supports
this command when operating in either the PCI or PCI-X bus mode.

2.3.2.15

Memory Read Line Command

This command is identical to the Memory Read command except it
additionally indicates that the master intends to fetch a complete cache
