We are attempting to program an IBM-PC I/O board that is capable of using Direct Memory Access (DMA) to the PC's memory. The board's instruction manual indicates how to program the board but not the PC's DMA controller. Does anyone know of a good source of information on this topic? Any suggestions are happily accepted. Thanks, Kevin

Consult the tech ref of the manufacturer of the DMA chip (usually Intel) Cheers, Q - the "Q"uestor for knowledge (, a degree, etc.) lsalomo@hubcap.clemson.edu ibmman@clemson.clemson.edu ============================================================================= "Gee Wally, I think there's something wrong with the Beaver." =============================================================================
