Data file transfer from web server uses double access memory at client workstation to facilitate rapid download

摘要

The double access memory serves as a buffer between the web download and the local hard disc. The system provides transfer of files of data from a web server to a client work station via a network and vice versa. The client work station comprises a hard disc (205) for recording the file of data transferred via a SCSI bus (208). The client work station comprises a double access memory (304) for provisionally holding the file of data. A network logic unit (302) is interconnected between the network and the input port of the memory. A SCSI logic unit (303) is interconnected between the output port of the double access memory and the SCSI bus for transferring the data file from the double access memory to the hard disc, via the SCSI bus, and vice versa.
