Hale, Splitting them would imply a particular hardware/software partition and implementation, which may not be desirable in a specification. Further, host vendors may choose to deviate by automating in hardware, certain software functions (eg: polling the status register). Regards, T.E.

Maybe we should split the R/W DMA host side and PACKET DMA host side diagrams into two diagrams that respectively show what the HOST SIDE SOFTWARE and HOST SIDE HARDWARE are expected to do? Or maybe we should just add a little more text, like a good high level explaination of how DMA works?
