Date: Mon, 4 Jun 90 15:25:23 GMT Lines: 14 For an application my company is looking at doing, we need to develop some expertise with DMA transfers on AT clones. The problem at hand involves putting a DMA device in a pipe that would take data in memory, pass it through the DMA device, and back into memory, all without processor involvement. The amount of data involved is quite large, and local buffers on the DMA device relatively small, so it would be a real pipe, involving interleaved reads and writes, on different DMA channels. What I would like from the net is pointers to good references on DMA programming. Thanks in advance. -- Mike Walma -- Focus Systems -- Waterloo, Ontario watmath!focsys!mike (519) 746-4918
