Do you folks deal directly with the public? If so, could you email me the price of the board? A question about the board's operation…is it DMA or not, and if not does it use RAM caching to achieve good throughput? If it uses caching, about how much overhead is there when running a typical (!) 20 meg drive? OK, I lied. Three questions. Tx, Andrew 76667,3312

Prices I don't have with me. It is under $200, but beyond that you will have to call and ask sales. It is not DMA. It does use intelligent caching for speed, which uses about 70K. This can either be permanently disabled or disabled on a boot to boot basis if memory gets tight. Holding down a mouse button while booting with disable it for that session only.
