Number of pad bytes with DT transfers

[Wolfgang Michel]

Given a sequential device (like a DAT, etc.) is transfering data to 
the initiator with DT data group transfers. And further given the 
device has to disconnect from the initiator due to an internal 
resource condition on a non module 4 boundary. The device than has to 
fill up the last data field up to the next 4 byte boundary with 
padding bytes before sending the CRC. How is the initiator able to 
identify the number of pad bytes (1,2 or 3)? Up to my understanding 
the IGNORE WIDE RESIDUE message "invalidates" only 1 byte.

Your assistance/help is really appreciated.

Thanks
Wolfgang
