This paper describes the data acquisition system planned for the SLD detector which is being constructed for use with the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC). An exclusively FASTBUS front-end system is used together with a VAX-based host system. While the volume of data transferred does not challenge the band-width capabilities of FASTBUS, extensive use is made of the parallel processing capabilities allowed by FASTBUS to reduce the data to a size which can be handled by the host system. The low repetition rate of the SLC allows a relatively simple software-based trigger. The principal components and overall architecture of the hardware and software are described.
