Hi! Yesterday I googled a little bit about Amiga and DMA. There are some docs from the Hardware Reference Manual that have details about DMA transfer within the chipset and everyone mentioned the length of the transfer. Even some caveats were listed, for example that the last 3 bits of every

Finn, I've seen that - the old Amiga drivers only set the DMA start address but no transfer length, no idea whether that will work for command data. As far as the low level driver dma routines are concerned, they only get called by the ESP core and they are always passed a transfer length
