DMA channels and Zorro slots
« on: May 13, 2011, 09:59:26 AM »
It might be a dumb question, but as I am getting familiar again with the classic Amiga architecture, I have ask. Does the DMA bus controller in Agnus and Alice extend or allocate to the Zorro II and III slots when needed.

AFAIK No.

It is outside the Agnus/Alice address range. The DMA masters in the Amiga chipset are AFAIK all limited to accessing Chip-RAM.


Right,I forgot you explained that in another thread. I hope I am not getting shot term memory loss!
