    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.

            Well I think that is where the term comes from.

            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.
