    Just as I thought that the argument over whether DMA is good was finally
settled I came up with a nasty rumor.  Tryning to remember exacly what was
said last night:

	Is there a bug with the Amiga DMA scheme that causes data to be lost
	under some obcure conditions, or is that somebody mis-reading 
	a 2090 review again?

    At the very least I would like to have enough ammunition to stamp out
any nasty little rumors like this before they start, unless they are accurate,
in which case theyshould be documented.
