What kind of DMA though: ISA bus mastering or the Intel 8237 data mover? Or neither? Either way, quite disappointing -- it all should be pretty easy to reproduce with modern circuitry. The software side is another matter however -- x86 real-mode OS drivers should be easy to run virtualised, but other environments are a tad more difficult to emulate. Maciej
