DMA Channel Controllers

Only “I/O-to-memory” and “memory-to-I/O” transfers are allowed. “I/O-to-I/O” and “memory-to-memory” transfers are disallowed by the hardware configuration.

The system controller supports seven DMA channels, each with a page register used to extend the addressing range of the channel to 16 MB.

The following table summarizes how the DMA channels are allocated.

Interrupt Controllers

The system has an Interrupt controller which is equivalent in function to that of two 82C59 interrupt controllers. The following table shows how the interrupts are connected to the APIC controller. The Interrupt Requests (IRQ) are numbered sequentially, starting with the master controller, and followed by the slave (both of 82C59 type).
