- Not any more; last night I read on Genie that Tulin's drive can now work with
- the DMA SCSI -- I'm supposed to call Tulin for details. My guess is that Insite

- immediately and the DMA SCSI is happy. I'll be calling Tulin on Monday to find
- out more, since I definitely want a revised mechanism if that's what it is.
