I just bought a copy of Fastback +.  When I configured it the other day
it informed me that I have an error in my DMA controller chip.  I'm not
a happy camper.  They suggested that I buy a fix from them.  This is the
first I've heard of this problem, and it hasn't seemed to affect anything
in the past.  When I try to run Fastback it tells me that it's going to
have to run in S-L-O-W mode until I get the problem fixed (yeah, I spent
$135 on FASTback so it can work in slow mode!!).  Anyway, any and all
information on this problem (and possible solutions to it) are very
welcome!!

BTW, I'm running an XT compatible, at 10/4.7Mhz.

Thanks,
