Yes, the 2090 and 2090A do do DMA, but that is not necessarily a good thing (perhaps I'll post a seperate article on this). >While we've been waiting patiently >for the 2090A to come along, Micron (I think) has come out with a >very similar board that does DMA, AND has room on it to become >a 'hard card'.
