Correct, but that would be a "deviation" from the specification, not the specification. Anybody can do anything they want if they deviate. I'd prefer to see this broken down. Chip vendors can then choose to "automate" or implement value-add features on top of such a design. -----Original Message----- From: Ooi, Thien Ern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 11:03 AM To: T13 List Server Subject: RE: [t13] more DMA confustion This message is from the T13 list server. 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?
