[comp.unix.i386] motherboards that

det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG (Derek E. Terveer) (07/20/90)

I have a "Turnpoint systems, inc" 80386-25 motherboard that fails the aha1542-a
first party dma test.  My vendor has of course simplified my various rantings
about this lack of support (of the first party dma) to something along the lines
of "Of course this mb supports disks".  Sigh.

He has suggested a molification of my irritation with a mb swap; a "Data Comp
Tricell (6-layer)" board for the "Turnpoint Systems x'golden (4-layer)" board
that i currently have.  Before i go to the trouble of ripping things apart, the
down time while boards are passing each other in the mail, etc., does anyone
know for sure whether or not the datacomp board will or will not support first
party dma?

(Has anyone even heard of either of these two boards at all? (:-))
