I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has read or in some other manner learned more details about the new bus architecture for the new IBM Personal System/2 (boy that's a pain to type) computers. It is claimed that the new architecture allows "parallel DMA". How many? Does this imply dual-ported static RAM? Is that why IBM's memory board can only hold 2M and is so expensive? ...Glenn -- Glenn Connery, Bell Northern Research, Mountain View, CA {hplabs,amdahl,3comvax}!bnrmtv!connery
