Ken,
another "real life operation – and failure": I bougt MS's Cinemania Mulitmedia
CD. Because my mainboard (486/33 – Symphony) doesn't like to do a DMA transfer
with the Mitsumi CD ROM, Windows does not play the animated film sequences _at
all_! Even the button to do it is not displayed. Obviously without DMA you
cannot achieve the "max. 40% CPU usage", that is allowed for MPC compliancy;
polling takes probably full CPU power.
