I hear rumblings about the RAMFast SCSI card being DMA compatable.  This
is nice, but my //e is "zipped" up to 8 MHz and I know that DMA is not
functional because of the Zip Chip.

So, my question is:  Would I be able to use a RAMFast SCSI card and an 8
MHz Zip Chip in my enhanced //e?  (i.e., can DMA be turned off, and what
kind of performance loss would there be?)

Thanks,
