DMA Byte Counter
This 24-bit register determines the number of bytes
transferred in a Block Move instruction. While sending
data to the SCSI bus, the counter is decremented as data
is moved into the DMA FIFO from memory. While
receiving data from the SCSI bus, the counter is
decremented as data is written to memory from the
LSI53C875. The DBC counter is decremented each time
data is transferred on the PCI bus. It is decremented by
an amount equal to the number of bytes that are
transferred.
The maximum number of bytes that can be transferred in
any one Block Move command is 16,777,215 bytes. The
maximum value that can be loaded into the
