some pcs didnt have dma. Tandy 1000...IBM
Peanut...Sanyo MBC-5xx too IIRC...
Correct (well, it was option in the Tandy 1000,
it
was included on the
RAM expansion board).
What was it, the 8237, actually came on the ram
board? I probably knew this at one time. I have about I used to call things like that semi-compatible, but
the term is misleading. Now I just say pseudo-
I use the term' IBM incompatibles' to cover such machines (and the
Victor 9000/Sirius, HP150, HP110, DEC Rainboq, etc). That is, 8086/8088
based machines that run MS-DOS but which will not run most IBM PC programs.
