The emulator responds to the /BR (bus request) and /BGACK (bus grant
acknowledge) signals from the target system just like the microprocessor.
The emulator does not support DMA (direct memory access) to emulation
memory. Internal 68302 DMA can happen regardless of the answer to this
question. The /BGACK signal will always be active on internal DMA
operations.
The emulator ignores the /BR and /BGACK signals from the target system.
