70The
71.Nm
72driver was written by
73.An Radoslaw Kujawa Aq Mt radoslaw.kujawa@gmail.com .
74It was developed using information obtained through reverse engineering
75by
76.An Frank Wille
77and
78.An Radoslaw Kujawa .
79The authors have no access to official
80documentation (which is only available under NDA).
81.Sh BUGS
82DMA to host memory is not supported.
83It is unclear if the hardware supports DMA to host memory at all.
84It is possible to implement DMA through bounce buffers in graphics card memory,
85but this needs further research.
