Direct PCI Access
Hello.
Quoted 3 lines · Mark Mitchell
From the looks of the documentation the NIC should work but I was wondering if dosemu will be able to have direct PCI access to the channel adapter card. Is that possible?
Dosemu can allow you to access the PCI config space and you can request any additional ports, but the PCI DMA won't work, so most likely your NIC will neither. You should access it via the packet driver instead.
Do all PCI devices use DMA or is that devices specific?
Your right about the packet driver, that should work but if my PCI Channel card uses DMA I'm pretty much screwed right?
