Abstract

A method and apparatus is presented allowing multiple data pointers or addresses to be transferred without acknowledgment to Memory Controller (506) and Memory Controller (510) of Data Controller (500). Data is then transferred in response to the data pointers from BUFFER (512) and Buffer (514) and may be stalled during the transfer in favor of a second data transfer. Once the second data transfer finishes, the first data transfer may be completed.
