I have an B2000 with an A2620 accelerator board. I also have a Supra
WordSync SCSI Interface, which I'm about to install.

The software is "Series II, ver 1.09f".

In a minor note on page 16 in the manual, I read:
"If you install a 68020, 68030 or 68040 accelerator board in your
Amiga 2000, you need to use the SupraEdit program to mask out
DMA to 32-bit RAM. A mask value of 0 will allow things to work
safely, although not necessarily as fast as possible. To determine
the optimum mask value for your system, experiment and/or contact
the manufacturer of your accelerator board."

Commodore Sweden don't know what an A2620 is, so I can`t ask them. I
don`t really understand the connection/problem with DMA to 32-bit RAM
and the Supra non-DMA SCSI interface. Anyone with a good explanation?
What mask value could I safely use? (I don't feel like trying all
values from 0 to FFFFFF).

It's also interesting to know if the software has undergone any
major revisions? What is the current revision?

Anyone have the Fax # to Supra?


Thanks in advance,
