I've successfully programmed several memory mapped cards under DJGPP
V2, but I've now decided that I'd like to use DMA with one of them
as well.  Are there any gotcha's?  So far as I can tell, the FAQ
doesn't mention DMA explicitly.

From a _VERY_ cursory look at the info I have on DMA, it would appear
that one concern is that the memory addresses don't cross a 64K
boundary and are allocated in the first 1MB of RAM.  Or will DJGPP
transparently take care of this for me?

Many thanks in advance for your responses.
