I remember hearing some time ago that the DEC-supplied driver for a DMF-32
doesn't do DMA, but that there is a driver from DECUS that does.  My questions
are as follows:
	1)  Is this claim still true?
	2)  If so, WHICH DMF-32 driver (LCDRIVER, XGDRIVER, or YCDRIVER?
	3)  If XGDRIVER, does anybody out there have a copy of the DECUS version
	     of the driver they'd be willing to send me?
The reason I ask is that we've just started running PSI on a DMF-32 (we
used to run it on a DUP-11, but my boss decided that the DMF-32 would probably
give better performance.  If anybody out there knows whether this is really
true, I'd appreciate hearing from you as well.  Thanks in advance.
