DMA channel assignments
Table 12 shows the default channel assignments for direct memory access (DMA). DMA allows I/O devices to transfer
data directly to and from memory. You may need to select an open DMA channel if you add an I/O device that uses
DMA.
Additional resources may be taken by Plug and Play (PnP) devices. Resources for installed PnP devices, such as the
modem card, can be reassigned by the BIOS or the Windows 95 Device Manager.
