Is there anything I can do - apart from removing 4MB of the 20MB RAM I have - to make "DMA beyond ISA" work? Basically, it's that, hard-wire the memory in your kernel config down to 16MB (so you don't have to physically remove RAM), or get a SCSI adapter that uses a real 32-bit bus (PCI, EISA, VLB). I've looked at the FAQ but could not find something addressing this. Have I been blind? I believe so. I'm pretty sure it's in the FAQ. Did you look at a recent FAQ? -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
