If the floppy works, the DMA controller works.

If you really want to exercise it, install a Sound Blaster.

Subject: question - how to test DMA on peecees right way?


Assuming I have basic stuff, working parts except for motherboard
under test.

How can I assure that chipset that contains DMA controllers is
working as intended?

software I have is very limited and only tests very basic functions
like checkit, sysinfo etc.

Remember I only have limited RAM (1mb) to play with.

Thanks
