I've seen a machine with 20MB and heard of one with 64 MB - >(yes, sixty-four) No, not me... - I doubt this very much according to the stuff you mentioned in your post, I think I must add that this is supposed to be a 486/66DX2 EISA machine - the upshot of this is that 386BSD can only make use of (32 - X)MB of real - ram (where X is an unknown number) 20MB certainly works. I didn't claim that guy had ever actually *used* the RAM, did I ? - however the EISA scsi drivers do support 32 bit adresses. so bounce buffers - are not needed. He says he's using an adaptec 1740 (or whatever it's called)... -Bernard
