    The 82371AB southbridge internal ISA DMA controllers are based on the 82C59
    DMA controller (w/ IOAPIC capability).

    In addition to enabling the A20 line, you just need to program the DMA
    address registers with the physical address (lower than 16MB). (The DMA
    controller only handles up to 24 address lines, or 16MB).

    For full details, jump over to Intel Developer Library
    (http://developer.intel.com) and search for:
    1. 29054801.pdf - 430TX timing charts.
    2. 29055901.pdf - INTEL 430TX PCISET: 82439TX SYSTEM CONTROLLER (MTXC)
    3. 29056201.pdf - 82371AB PCI-TO-ISA / IDE XCELERATOR (PIIX4)
    4. 29773811.pdf - 82371AB Spec Update.

    These 4 pdf's have all the info you will need.
