I need to perform some fast transfer of large (<128Kb) chunks
of memory between two IBM AT clones. I have an optic fibre link
capable of 100Mbps, but I need to get the data in memory to/from
the boards. Is DMA the fastest way to transfer data between my board
and memory?
	If so, are there any references around on DMA on the IBM AT?
	If not, which way is faster, and are there any references
	on this?

Thanks in advance,
