Address Resources for MSMT353 and MSMT359
DMA Channels
The system board uses Direct Memory Address (DMA) channels to exchange data without accessing
the CPU. Some channels are assigned for specific use by the system, as defined below. Each DMA
channel or MSMT359 appropriates full 32-bit processing. For an ISA bus, channels 0 through 3 are
8-bit and channels 4 through 7 are 16-bit channels.
