1.2.2 PCI Performance

To improve PCI performance, the LSI53C810A:

Bursts 2, 4, 8, or 16 Dwords across PCI bus with 80-byte DMA FIFO

Prefetches up to 8 Dwords of SCRIPTS instructions

Supports 32-bit word data bursts with variable burst lengths.

Bursts SCRIPTS opcode fetches across the PCI bus

Performs zero wait-state bus master data bursts faster than 110 Mbytes/s (@ 33 MHz)

Supports PCI Cache Line Size register
