QBUS block mode timing question

When the bus master requests block mode DMA, it
inserts BS7 when inserting the first DIN. If the slave
is capable of block mod DMA, it inserts REF when
inserting RPLY. The master removes BS7 when inserting
the last DIN to finish the block mode DMA.

My question is, what will happen if the master
finishes the DMA cycle early? The same question is,
what will happen if the master keeps BS7 inserted when
inserting the last DIN? Will the slave malfunction?

It seems a small violation of the protocol. It seems
the bus master needs to predict the availability of
Data otherwise.

Thanks.
