DMA or Direct Memory Access is the process of getting memory (RAM) without using the CPU. It is turned on based on the program you are running. It is used for things like making sounds while a game is running or for moving data from a floppy and hard drives into RAM. So the program you are running will determine if DMA is used, it does not matter if it is a floppy.
