I my orginal question which seems to be a part of this general confusion..
I asked that since I had a Full CVTech board and the 1 meg apple board
(on a rom 01) which took me up to 5.25 megs. I have the High Speed SCSI
board from apple which lets me enable/disable the DMA automaticaly...can
I turn this dip on?????? or should I start to see if I can trade/upgrade
my HS SCSI card for a Ramfast???? I was rather hopping to finnaly get the
ZipGSX from GS+ so I would rather NOT spend the money!
Thoughts?
