  2. ;      MODULE NAME:   EMM28_F.ASM                                             ;
  3. ;                                                                             ;
  4. ; OS FUNCTION NAME:   alloc_DMA_reg_set                                       ;
  5. ;                                                                             ;
  6. ;      DESCRIPTION:   This function gets the number of a DMA register set     ;
  7. ;                     for an OS/E, if a DMA register set is currently         ;
  8. ;                     available for use.                                      ;
  9. ;                                                                             ;
  10. ;                     In a multitasking operating system, when one task is    ;
  11. ;                     waiting for DMA to complete, it is useful to be able to ;
  12. ;                     switch to another task.  However, if the DMA is being   ;
  13. ;                     mapped through the current register set, the switching  ;
  14. ;                     cannot occur.  That is, all DMA action must be complete ;
  15. ;                     before any remapping of pages can be done.              ;
  16. ;                                                                             ;
  17. ;                     The operating system would initiate a DMA operation on  ;
  18. ;                     a specific DMA channel using a specific alternate map   ;
  19. ;                     register set.  This alternate map register set would    ;
  20. ;                     not be used again, by the operating system or an        ;
  21. ;                     application, until after the DMA operation is complete. ;
  22. ;                     The operating system guarantees this by not changing    ;
  23. ;                     the contents of the alternate map register set, or      ;
  24. ;                     allowing an application to change the contents of the   ;
  25. ;                     alternate map register set, for the duration of the DMA ;
  26. ;                     operation.                                              ;

  28. ;           PASSED:   &DMA_reg_set:                                           ;
  29. ;                        is a far pointer to the DMA register set parameter.  ;

  31. ;         RETURNED:   status:                                                 ;
  32. ;                        is the status EMM returns from the call.  All other  ;
  33. ;                        returned results are valid only if the status        ;
  34. ;                        returned is zero.  Otherwise they are undefined.     ;

  36. ;                     DMA_reg_set:                                            ;
  37. ;                        is the DMA register set number.  If there are no DMA ;
  38. ;                        register sets supported by the hardware, a zero will ;
  39. ;                        be returned.                                         ;
