Apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of command execution from a host processor over an SCSI bus. Arbitration, selection and message out functions of SCSI protocol are implemented using a background arbitration state machine. Additional protocol functions are implemented in a foreground state machine. When the host processor issues a command for access to the SCSI bus, the background state machine can be programmed before the foreground machine completes the protocol function for a previous command. Thus, the background state machine is ready to arbitrate for access to the bus at the very next bus free condition.
