I am a complete novice as far as hardware goes.  Does the CoCo have the
capability to support DMA devices?  I have heard that some micro
implementations cannot use DMA because of inherent design decisions (like,
low cost.) Is this true for the CoCo?  Would microsoft!danm who is writing
the OS-9 device driver for the unspecified hard disk care to comment on its DMA
capability?
