Is Elbox A4000 ATA controller DMA?

[PulsatingQuasar]

I have asked Elbox a couple of months ago if it was possible to create a DMA controller for A1200 and/or A3000/A4000.

They ensured me that it is impossible because of a couple of things in the Amiga design otherwise they would have done it allready.

So basiclly; this is never going to happen. Not because of the cost but because of some design problems which can not be overcome.

It would have helpen or slow processors a lot!

Oh, and I also asked about a driver for a PCI DMA IDE controller card for the Mediator and that is also not going to happen because of the same reasons in the Amiga design.

A shame really but there is allways AmigaOne with OS 4 when it's ready.
