9. DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS
For the applications that require huge amounts of data transfer to
memory from a magnetic or optical disk a dedicated hardware device
called DMA controller is used.
The DMA controller temporarily borrows the address bus ,data bus
and control bus from the microprocessor and transfers the data bytes
directly from the disk controller to a series of memory locations.
Some DMA devices even can do memory to memory transfers.
