-<title><acronym>DMA</acronym> Channel Information</title>
-
-<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.
