Abstract
A data transfer system whereby a peripheral-controller manages data transfers between the host computer and a magnetic tape peripheral unit. Data undergoing transit, is temporarily stored in a buffer memory of the peripheral-controller and is monitored by a block counter monitoring system which informs a program-sequencer in the common control circuit unit of the peripheral-controller when data may be shifted into or out of the buffer memory in order to avoid or reduce the probability of access error conditions.
