DMA channels
The system board supports seven ISA-compatible DMA channels by utilising two DMA controller chips which
operate in cascade mode as a master-slave pair. The slave uses channels 0 to 3, supporting 8-bit data transfers
while the master controller uses channels 4 to 7, supporting 16-bit data transfers. Controllers are 8237A
compatible.
The following table lists each DMA channel and its use.
