Title: RE: [t13] INTRQ
Curtis,
 
I chopped all the other stuff out
 
 OK Jeff, this E-Mail is way too long to read.  However, just looking @the first point, I did UDMA without using the interrupt.  The interrupt is truely not a requirement for UDMA.
[JWW>] 
1) Please describe in high level and was it using a SFF-8038 type host ?
 
2) Can a non-INTR driven UDMA compete with one that does in either:
a) Transfer Rate
b) CPU Utilization
 
3) If it involves ANY polling are you not either
a) Consuming the CPU that you are trying to off load with UDMA
b) Have a large gap after the data transfer is completed to when you
    checked for status ?
 
Jeff
