Ron, Why do I get the feeling we are talking about two different things? I have already tried DPaint and the 2090, loading a hi-res picture (640*400*4) while displaying a 640*400*4 picture, which some have reported as a problem. Since the 2620 autoconfigures its 32 bit ram within the first 16 megs, it will mean that the 2090 can DMA directlyy into it. I'm just not sure which problem area you are speaking of. As for drives. What I was trying (apparantly unsuccessfully) to say, was that the same drive mechanism often comes in two varieties, one MFM, and the other, RLL. The price difference (on the cheaper drives), tends to be about 25-40% higher for the RLL version, which gives you 50% more storage. Cost effective, lower cost per megabyte, but more money nonetheless. If all consumers were interested mostly in cost per megabyte, we would all have something like the CDC Wren IV, which is a 300 meg drive, and costs in the neighbourhood of 2-3000 dollars, depending on where you get it. -larry
