Yes, how did you implement DMA in view of the fact that national cancelled
thiers. I mean something that can support 8 chanells for a total throughput
of about 40 Mbytes/sec. as the Intel part for the 80386 does. I have ignored
the assanine remarks made on this board by the National rep to use the AMD
part; I want DMA thats commensurate with the bus bandwidth required by a 30Mhz
32532. I abhor the cavalier attitude that National reflected when they said
thier DMA wasn't very popular so they cancelled it. Then they wonder why
thier chips aren't popular!
