All other signals from the cpu are present, so if you can implement DMA without those two interrupt signals, then I would say go for it.  Otherwise some special interface is needed to utilize those 2 interrupt signals.


I think you actually meant the BS and BA outputs, which can be used to
track the bus state. Also AVMA/LIC/TSC/BUSY are not available on the
cartridge connector.
