Mine's a Rev D also, and also came with the flyer saying it was DMA compatible. Grr... I guess I have to call AE now to find out for sure. -- Jawaid Bazyar | "I'm sure K&R have never heard of Mike."

I guess I have to call AE now to find out for sure. Well, the docs for the RAMFast that I just got say that the GS-Ram is DMA compatible if it's Rev E or later. So does the review of high speed SCSI cards that was in Nibble. If you do call though, tell me what you find out! >-- >Jawaid Bazyar | "I'm sure K&R have never heard of Mike." >Senior/Computer Engineering | >bazyar@cs.uiuc.edu | "That's okay.
