May 21, 2018 direct memory access dma is a method that allows an inputoutput io device to send or receive data directly to or from the main memory, bypassing the cpu to speed up memory operations. In the original ibm pc and the followup pcxt, there was only one intel 8237 dma controller capable of providing four dma channels numbered 03. Chances are your computer is fine and both techs were full of crap.
