  I own a Club American 333/CT machine and was wondering if anyone knows
if it should support bus mastering.  I want to add an Adaptek AHA1542B
SCSI Host Adapter but I don't want to waste my time if it won't work.

  Alternatively, is there any way to determine if a motherboard supports
bus mastering without trying a card that uses it and having it work (or
not)?

  BTW: I know that the best way to find out would be to ask the manufacturer
but I have been told (repeatedly) that they support their machines through
their dealers and I have been unable to find one in my area that can answer
the question.  (Obviously, I don't think I'd buy one again.)
