- - I doubt this very much

- according to the stuff you mentioned in your post, I think I must add that this
- is supposed to be a 486/66DX2 EISA machine
-
- - the upshot of this is that 386BSD can only make use of (32 - X)MB of real
- - ram (where X is an unknown number) 20MB certainly works.
-
- I didn't claim that guy had ever actually *used* the RAM, did I ?
-
- - however the EISA scsi drivers do support 32 bit adresses. so bounce buffers
- - are not needed.
