Explanation of Solution

Channel I/O:

The I/O takes place by a smart type of Direct Memory Access (DMA) interface known as I/O channel. They are driven using small CPUs which are called as I/O processors.

Interrupt-driven I/O:

In interrupt-driven I/O, the device tells the CPU about the available input. It is very fast and efficient.

Channel I/O different from Interrupt-driven I/O:
