DMA Problems

[FlashBurn]

These are my dma functions. The Problem is now that I get these errors from Bochs:

Code: Select all

[DMA  ] write to command register: value(14h) not 0x00
[DMA  ] write to command register: value(10h) not 0x00

What make I wrong?

well, it looks like BOCHS do not like you to put some non-nul value in the 0x08 (dma command) register ...

i dunno where it comes from, but you should maybe re-read your doc ...

OK, there seems not to be a problem with dma. Now I?ve read a sector from the floppy with dma. But the data is in the wrong order.

This is the data:

Code: Select all

4E000FE9

And so it has to be:

Code: Select all

E90F004E

Why is the data in the wrong order?

hey, remember on intel, numbers are encoded with the least-significant byte first . so if you try to display 0x12345678 as a string (or if you look at it in memory), it will show as
0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12 ...
