We are in the process developing our first PCI bus add-on card.
Here are some questions regarding the software interface :

1. Is burst mode data transfer implemented on most motherboards, for
    example Triton chipset, etc ?

2. If this is implemented, how does the software interface address it?
    As far as I know, no x486 instruction can set up a burst mode
    transfer.  Is there perhaps a special Pentium instruction that can
    accomplish this ?

Any info will be appreciated.
