Run it at DOT CLOCK speed (the problem will be synchronizing it
to PHI2 I think, for that, I wouldn't actually use the DOT CLOCK,
I'd use a multiplier phase locked to PHI2)

I think you want either single transfer or demand transfer mode.

I'm starting to get interested.  I was just considering myself
how to do some DMA relatively cheaply.  The more I think about
your questions and the 8237, the more feasible it seems.
