I asked around here a couple of weeks ago, and everybody said that my GSRAM
wasn't DMA compat. Also, the latest issue of Nibble has a review for the two
fast SCSI cards, and it says that the GSRAM rev D and below aren't DMA compat.
I pulled out my GSRAM, and sure 'nuff, it was a rev. D copyright 1987. I'll
still need more memory to compile those big C programs whenever I get Orca/C,
so I'm still going to get a new card.
