I have 2 queries about the DMA SCSI card and I hope that some kind souls
out there will have the answer...

1.  Is the Applied Engineering GS-RAM plus card *REALLY* DMA compatible?
    Is it only DMA compatible to 4 megabytes, or compatible to 6 megabytes?

2.  The older formatting/partitioning programs, specifically SCSI Hacker
    and Vanilla, do not work with the new DMA SCSI card.  This is a loss,
    because these 2 programs can set the interleave factor when the hard
    disk is being formatted, whereas the SCSI Utilities that are supplied
    with the card cannot.  So, is there a way to set the interleave of
    the drive by any other means, or is an upgrade to SCSI Hacker or
    Vanilla available to work with the new card?

Thanks in advance.
