[comp.sys.amiga] A3000 DMA chip

C506634@UMCVMB.BITNET ("Eric Edwards") (05/09/90)

I'm intrigued by the A3000's onboard DMA chip.  Is it restricted to being a
scsi controler of is it more flexible.   Seems like it would be awful nice if
it could do things like:
     1) move data between chip and fast ram
     2) provide DMA for other devices such as the serial port (faster than
        paula)

If it CAN do things like this is it supported in WB 2.0?
