Probably because the RMW cycle has the 68K on the bus for an undivided 8 clock cycles, instead of the expected (normal) 4 clock cycles. If there is an interleaving of the Chip DMA cycles and the 68K R/W cycles, then the 68K may have just taken a memory cycle allocated to someone else. Just guessing. /frank
