    I remember having to configure the sound card within games. IRQ and DMZ settings. I had no idea what I was doing so a lot of the time I just played without sound.

      DMA, direct memory access. DMZ is a networking thing.

        DMZ is also between North and South Korea.

          They also stand for the same thing (demilitarized zone) oddly enough.

            Not oddly enough. Exactly as expected. DMZ in networking forwards all ports to a specific IP address behind the firewall. That address is demilitarized. It has no firewall defending it.

            I’ve seen it backronymed into “data management zone” in a few places, but it will always be “demilitarized zone” to me.

        It was 5 for me, and 220 for I/O Address.
