Hi!
I've been thinking about upgrading one of my machines to ~28MB
or RAM. Config is as follows:
i486/DX 66 MHz / 16MB
Micronics board of sorts
ISA/VLB
Ultrastor 34f VLB SCSI controller
a couple of Seagate drives on that controller
no other drives ( except floppies )
NetBSD-1.1A (~Feb 28, soon to be ~now)
If I go above 16 meg, I don't expect to run into the `notorious DMA
issue', since I've got my drives on a spiffy 32 bit bus.
Can someone PLEASE CONFIRM or deny this before I shell out
the cash?
Thanks, Colin.
