- Hi!
-
- I have two questions:
-
- 1) Is the DMA-chip faster than using "rep movsw", which takes
- CX*4 clocks(286), when transfering for instance a
- 320x200x256 screen from "ordinary" memory to "graphics"
- memory ?
-
- 2) What function has port 63h ? One bit turns the speaker on and
- off(?) but what about the others.
