On the IBM, at least, I have seen a Pascal example where an variable
of array type is then set : buffer_1 : array_type absolute $6000:0000.
This sets the buffer to start at the absolute address given. This is
done to allow a DMA buffer to start on a page boundary, and allow
saving to a file.
Is there an equivalent in C, or a way to set such an absolute location?
