Does anyone else experience : this problem? (Misery loves company) : This is *NOT* going to be old rehashed material. Yes, there are problems with the DMA, but from your message I would say that it's probably not.... check for bad connections first in the ether... this seems to be more of a problem (from my experienecs) that not. You'll be surprised how many companies try to cheat a bit with the wrong cable... Maybe that's why twisted pair is popular.(just my opinion). -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
