Ahem, NICE makes at least two lines of EISA boards. One is HiNT based and the other is SiS based. The latter board does support bus mastering DMA in excess of 16M. As it happens, the SuperEISA Rev 1 board is one of those nice (no pun intended) SiS EISA chipset based boards that you recommend in your post. So the problems probably lies elsewhere... --twc
