Figure 7. Micro Channel - Basic Data Transfer (20 MBps)

However, in many cases, blocks transferred to and from memory are stored in sequential addresses, so repeatedly sending the address for each 4 bytes is unnecessary. With data streaming transfers, the initial address is sent, and then the blocks of data are sent; it is then assumed that the data requests are sequential. Figure 8 shows 40 MBps data streaming in operation.
