So far, I believe that's caused by the periphs of the system, not
the system (or bus) itself.  I can't see any reason why DMA, as is
"advertised", indeed, would not work.  Once I'm done with Ultrix
on it, I probably will check with my hardware buddies and see if
we can do some CTI boards- for the heck of it.
