Abstract:
1. A method of controlling data outputted from a peripheral device, the peripheral device being installed on a computer system, the peripheral device comprising a bus interface circuit and a controller, the bus interface circuit being electrically connected to a bus of the computer system for controlling data transmission between the peripheral device and the bus, the controller being electrically connected to the bus interface circuit, the method comprising: positioning at least a first storage block and a second storage block in the bus interface circuit; storing data outputted from the controller in the first storage block; utilizing the bus interface circuit for simultaneously controlling the first storage block to transfer data stored in the first storage block to the bus and controlling the second storage block to store data outputted front the controller; positioning a third storage block in the bus interface circuit; and before data stored in the first storage block are completely outputted to the bus, the bus interface circuit preventing the controller from transferring data to the bus interface circuit if the second and third storage blocks are full.
