I wish to allocate a DMA buffer.
How do I do that in DJGPP?

Must DMA buffers be in the low 1 MB?

I know that DMA buffers may not cross a 64k border.
If I allocate a buffer in DJGPP how do I know that it doesn't cross
such a border - virtual memory and paging tend to make you lose
control of these things.

TIA
