[atari7800] First post and a question

Hi,

I posted a question on AtariAge here:

But I thought I would ask it here also.

The MARIA doc is a little confusing on DMA cycle timing:
All times listed below refer to 7.16 MHz cyles.

          DMA startup            5-9      cycles

          Header (4 byte)        8        cycles
          Header (5 byte)        12       cycles

          Graphics Reads:
          Direct                 3        cycles
          Indirect/1 byte        6        cycles
          Indirect/2 byte        9        cycles

          Character Map access   3        cycles

          Shutdown Times:
          Last line of zone      10-13    cycles
          Other lines of zone    4 - 7    cycles

Specifically, the "Character Map access 3 cycles" line.  Is that in
addition to the 6/9 cycles for an indirect graphics read or is it
already included in the 6/9 cycles listed there?

Thanks,

-Bob Montgomery
