Abstract
A work station connected to an asynchronous bus for transferring a starting address and consecutive data elements. The work station includes a CPU and memory unit, and an interface circuit connected between the bus and CPU. It also includes synchronous bus connecting the interface circuit, CPU and memory unit, and a system clock defining consecutive time slots and connected to the circuit. The circuit controls the synchronous bus transfer of the address in a first time slot and consecutive data elements in consecutive time slots.
