The GVP 68030 board really looks great (expensive, but great). But nowhere do 
the reviewers mention whether the 32-bit memory can accept 16-bit DMA (i.e.
from a 2090A or HardFrame or other "high-performance" hard disk controller).
Does anyone have any information on this? I think I'd take a real performance
hit if I had to set my HardFrame up to DMA into chip memory. (Not that it's
really THAT slow, but compared to 80ns 32 bit nibble mode RAM, it might as
well be core.)

P.S. I haven't seen any responses to my earlier posts. Please let me know
if you don't see this. 8-)
