Yes, please post.  I am interested in using DMA to transfer a MCGA 320x256
-256 color image from an aux buffer to the actual screen regen buffer at
0A000h.  It would be very nice to have DMA do this for me since copying the
64k buffer to the actual screen regen buffer (0A000h) is taking up too much
processor load.

If there is a way for DMA to do memory-memory (or memory-video buffer)
transfers, please post how.

Thanks,
Eugster
