<p>A method for transmitting a predetermined sequence of data files on a data bus is described. The data files are stored on a plurality of memory drives. Each of a first type of data file is stored on only one of the memory drives. Each of a second type of data file is stored on at least two of the memory drives. Upon encountering a first data file of the first type in the predetermined sequence, it is determined whether the corresponding memory drive is available (228). Where the corresponding memory drive is available, the first data file is transmitted on the data bus (232). Where the corresponding memory is not available, first data corresponding to the first data file is written to a temporary data file (230). The first data file is then transmitted on the data bus after the corresponding memory drive becomes available (228). Upon encountering a second data file of the second type in the predetermined sequence, the second data file is transmitted on the data bus (208).</p> |
