I was just talking about general principles, Keith: how it could
theoretically be done. There've been rumors circulating around here about
possible upgrades, but no definite information about how they might do it.
It's not hard to do: even changing the existing driver software _might_ be
enough, since it appears that the card is capable of handling the transfer
rate in DMA mode. But that's all guesswork, based on experience with
other kinds of disk systems, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that
they'll have to come up with a whole new interface card with its own buffer
and CPU.
