:-)))))))) you are a crazy man, do you think that I can explain DMA in one 
simple mail?, it can take various Kb and hours.
Pointing allegro I'm pointing to A SOURCE CODE, even more FREE SOURCE CODE, if 
you or somebody can't understand what the code does then must ask:

What a hell the line XXX of dma.c means? ....

But you can't ask general questions like: How can I program assembler ... and 
suppose you'll get a whole instructive mail (of 800Kb) about the topic. You'll 
get just pointers to places where you'll find a part or all what you need.
