Value Description/Function
31:26 r 0
Reserved:
Always read as 0.
25 r x
System64:
Provides the information of the system: Setting the bit
indicates a 64-bit system, while clearing the bit indicates a 32-bit
system.
24:10 r 1
PCIMainState:
Provides the current state of the PCI master main
state machine. The total number of states is 15. Each state is
represented by 1 bit.
9:0 r 0
HCNT[9:0]:
The Host Count register contains a count of the number
of words to be transferred between system memory and the PCI bus
when the PCI is an active bus master. HCNT decrements by one
each time a word is transferred between system memory and the
internal buffer. Transfers are inhibited when the count value of
HCNT is zero.

31:0 r 0
LowHostAddr[31:0]:
The Low Host address register contains the
low (32-bit) word of the system memory byte address of the data
being transferred to or from the AIC-6915 as an active bus master.
This register is implemented as a counter that counts up by one for
each byte transferred between the device and system memory. The
value in this register is driven on the PCI
AD[31:00]
bus during the
first Address phase in single address cycles or the second Address
phase in dual address cycles.
