As far as I can tell, the DMA engine used by the 68K AV Macs is
completely different from the ones in any of the PowerMacs...

Yeah, the latter for me... with time, one can disassemble the MacOS
stuff to make up for the lack of information... sometimes it's hard to
find time though :) However, if anyone knows where to get information
