Not that this actually effects me (yet :^) ) but...

   Does anybody actually bother to flush the cache after DMA occurs?
You know, like after the 2090 or Hardframe loads your program or data,
or after the blitter moves something, or when the serial port or trackdisk
device or one of ASDGs new serial ports (if they DMA that is) reads in
something.  Curious paranoid minds want to know.
