DMA Support
To allow fast data reception and transmission, the ComSync/104 supports four DMA channels;
each one is assigned to one of the ESCC DMA Request pins. Each channel of the ESCC has 2
request pins which can be programmed as either a combined receive/transmit request or as
separate receive and transmit requests (see the ESCC Users Manual for much more detail).
The I/O of this card will support a DMA Enable for each Channel of the ESCC. The DMA
support is organized as follows:
PC/104
85230 DMA

DRQ0 /
/DTR//REQA
DACK0#
DRQ1 /
/W//REQA
DACK1#
DRQ2 /
/DTR//REQB
DACK2#
DRQ3 /
/W//REQB
DACK3#
Note: If a Floppy drive is installed in the system then DRQ2/DACK2#
are used and should not be used for the ComSync/104.
