Apparently, the fact that a TAS cannot be split, and that the DMA devices
expect to be able to grab the bus at their usual time causes the problem.
This translates into it being very difficult for the DMA chips to tell when a
TAS is being executed. A minor problem indeed. There are other ways. (I never
dreamed there'd be *SO* many ways to do any given thing on this chip)
