I am posting this for a friend please send E-mail to him at.... calvin@mpl.UCSD.EDU (Calvin Ly) The question is: The 8237A DMA chip on the PC: on the AT and higher models, there are 8 dma channels. I need to program channel 5, since I need to do 16 bit dma transfers. Anyways, to progam the target address correctly, it needs a "page" address at port 0x8b. What is this page address, and how can I do an address translation to obtain this page number from a data pointer. The data pointer's memory space is allocated using the "halloc()" under Microsoft C 5.1 which returns a 32 bit address. And how can at obtain the base address from this data pointer to send to port 0xc6. i.e. unsigned short huge * dmaptr; dmatrp = (unsigned short huge *) halloc( 8196L, 2); Thanks for the help, -- T.J.
