+
+<para
+>This page displays information about the <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> (Direct Memory Access) Channels. A <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> channel is a direct connection that allows devices to transfer data to and from memory without going through the processor. Typically, i386-architecture systems (<acronym
+>PC</acronym
+>'s) have eight <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> channels (0-7). </para>
+
+<note
+> <para
+>The exact information displayed is system-dependent. On some systems, <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> Channel information cannot be displayed yet. </para
+> </note>
+
+<para
+>On &Linux;, this information is read from <filename class="devicefile"
+>/proc/dma</filename
+>, which is only available if the <filename class="directory"
+>/proc</filename
+> pseudo-filesystem is compiled into the kernel. </para>
+
+<para
+>A list of all currently-registered (<acronym
+>ISA</acronym
+> bus) <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> channels that are in use is shown. The first column shows the <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> channel, and the second column shows the device which uses that channel. </para>
+
+<para
+>Unused <acronym
+>DMA</acronym
+> channels are not listed. </para>
