Re: [hatari-devel] New SCC 85C30 support for MegaSTE/TT/Falcon

The SCC DMA use was part of a larger program. I have to see - when I'm back home and assuming that I don't forget - if I can extract the appropriate code snippet.

Adding the code to handle DMA should not be that hard (as it mainly
means to read SSC's RR8 to RAM or write RAM to WR8).

If you kept your program somewhere, it could be useful to validate the
DMA+SCC is working.
