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.
