- Is there a way to use DMA to transfer a 64k block of memory to
- another location?
-
- At one time I heard it wasn't possible.
- At one time I heard it was possible.
- At one time they said it was possible, but most PC manufacturers
- don't include the proper wires on the motherboard to do it.
- I have seen code to do it, but I never got it to work.
-
- Has anyone done this for sure, not just speculation?
