[comp.sys.amiga] 2090-A SPOCS CLARIFIED

Wow!  You folks are awesome - you did it again........

I have several replies to my question of SCSI and/or DMA on the 2090A.

The neat thing was that they ALL agreed.

Some thought I was confused in what I was asking for (SCSI/DMA vs SCSI/ST-506)
but the real confusion was in my lack of understanding the SCSI functions.

I thought that SCSI controllers interfaced with the CPU to pass along data
to/from the memory while DMA was was a controller environment that has direct 
channeling of data between the device/buffer and memory.

See what wonders a little patience will work?

Thanks again, and till the next silly question - -

Regards, Jerry
