You'll have to give me some more information.  I'm not familiar with DMA.
How does the 'buf' get created?  How does 'buf' get accessed?Do you have a
RM address for 'buf'?  PM address? a memory handle?  How does DMA know where
the 'buf' is located?

If you have either a RM or PM address, you can use dosmemput/get.  If you
have a memory handle, it must be converted to a RM or PM address.  You'll
need to get an address for 'buf' to access it, whether in C or assembly,
except if it is accessible through a CPU I/O port.  If it's on a port, you
can use inp/inport/inportb outp/outportb etc...


If I get a chance, I'll brush up on DMA.  But, you might check out these CD
links, the code compiles with DJGPP:
