- According to Dave Haynie (we just had a discussion about this MB a few
- days ago), there are no MBs out there with a working DSP subsystem. He
- didn't have a chance to finish it up/iron out some bugs before the
- project was canced...
-
- As far as the SCSI controller goes, yes, it will work fine. The AGA on
- board should be basically the same as the 1200/4000. Although I never
- specifically brought the subject up, he never mentioned any differences
- or problems in the AGA system.
