DT mode

SPI3 is not very clear about the relationship between DT 
mode and the transfer rate. So my question is: Are there any 
restrictions using DT mode (DT_REQ=1) together with any values of the 
Transfer Period Factor. I have observed that several drives accept 
PPR messages with DT_REQ=1 only if the transfer period factor is 
set to Fast-80, i.e. 0x9. If DT with slower transfer rates is 
allowed, when should then change the data/parity lines (in the 
middle of the strobe, or after the minimum hold time for the falling 
edge, or???).

Thanks for the assitance.

Wolfgang
