- We had a I-Card under Envoy on an accelerated A1200. I noticed that we
- had lock-ups when heavy network activity to and from the A1200 was
- present. Now, the PCMCIA card is _not_ a DMA device, rather it seems to
- be configured as a serial port, and I put the crashes down to this.
- Comments, anyone?
