摘要: In a personal computing system the function of DMA controllers in "AT" or "ISA" bus has been modified so that may select whether 16-bit channels are to be used as 8-bit channels. An 8/16-bit mode bit for each is written control register during Power On Self Test routine. Once three channels, it read when channel active operate an channel. With this information available, page addressing selectively changed from 128k size pages 64k converted 8-bit. addition, byte within two single mode.
