Syd, Have you heard anything about the status of MDIdeas?  Are they still
in business?  Also, when I got my OctoRam at AppleFest 2 years ago the
MDIdeas folks were saying that their card worked with DMA throughout
the entire 8 meg memory range.  They said they didn't know why and neither
did Apple.  Has anyone verified that?  Does anyone use the card with 
the Cache Card, InnerDrive or other DMA devices?  If so how does it 
perform?
