DMA Channels
The system board uses Direct Memory Address (DMA) channels to exchange data without accessing
the CPU. Some channels are assigned for specific use by the system, as defined below. Each DMA
channel appropriates full 32-bit processing. For an ISA bus, channels 0 through 3 are 8-bit and
channels 4 through 7 are 16-bit channels.
