There seems to be a few people out there who have used the Morrow M26
Hard Disk, so I'd like to ask a bit about it. I've used Morrow's DJ floppy
controller in the past, and, although it worked perfectly, I didn't like
their way of doing things (using the CPU for "DMA", stealing 1K out of my
precious address space, etc.) So my question is this: do they do things the
same way with their controller for the M26? Does it support the full S100
standard (24 bit addressing with priority controlled DMA)? Is it memory
mapped? How much space does their driver take in the BIOS? Do they supply a
full BIOS listing (my BIOS for the CompuPro Disk-I is hacked to support a
256K disk cache, so I would need the source to combine the two)?
