DATA STRUCTURES AND REGISTERS

PACKET FORMAT IN BUFFER MEMORY

The packet format in memory is similar for the Transmit and Receive areas. The first word is reserved for the status word.

The next word is used to specify the total number of bytes, and it is followed by the data area. The data area holds the

packet itself.

BYTE COUNT - Divided by two, it defines the total number of words including the STATUS WORD, the BYTE

COUNT WORD, the DATA AREA and the CONTROL BYTE.

The receive byte count always appears as even; the ODDFRM bit of the receive status word indicates if the low byte of

the last word is relevant.
