That's right. And even then DMA did not work reliable. To be honest, it
never did. It always lost and/or corrupted data (about 1 in 10000
transfers or so).

I hunted that problem for quite some time and found what I believed to
be a race condition in the DMA support layer. At the same time, I
noticed that PIO transfers are faster than DMA for small blocks (random
access on FAT). So I decided to drop DMA support and go for a solid PIO
implementation.
