WAIT one darn second... So you mean I can't run my GS at full speed with this thing and DMA running??? So I either get 1 mHz [thus cruddy performance of ANYTHING GS specific] and 1 meg/second max OR 2.8 mHz and .5 second/max [and cruddy performance of the SCSI card comparatively]??? Boy that seems like one --HUGE-- flaw to me... And I was about to go out and get one of these new SCSI cards (if I could find one) and a cartridge drive for my GS.. Maybe I should find more info about this thing first! -- _ __ __ __ _ /-------------------------------\ /_\ |__| | __| |_| |_ \ / |_| | unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu | / \ | |__ |__ | |__ \/ | \ | unknown%darkside.com@ames.arpa | \-------------------------------/
