I would like to know why the AmigaOne has a software-based DMA instead of having a northbridge that has hardware DMA built-in?

AmigaOne's *software* DMA : Comment 16 of 24 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kjetil on 05-Jul-2004 19:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (goodone): If this is true then cashes can’t be used on AmigaOS3.x, your totally clue less.
A cashes is just a block of memory used to store data if that memory is your graphic card or ram module it just the same, your program or OS will need to deal whit it any form it can, after all your OS it not DMA. |
