Ok, here is a list of the old DMA channels (on the 68030 Next)
2 for the Ethernet (1 for sends, 1 for recieves)
1 for the SCSI port
1 for the optical disk
1 for BOTH serial ports (shared)
2 Display's sound (1 for sending, 1 for receiving)
1 for writing the video memory
1 for the DSP
---
10 Dma channels
In addition, there were 2 others that were reserved for memory/memory transfers
for a total of 12. As far as which one of the above 10 were axed, I don't know.
