- I am only a student, and my next computer will be an EISA machine. If I
- could have shared DMA's I probably would have bought the new machine, but
- now I will probably wait a few years until I need more memory. I will have
- to stay with my 386/25 computer. The manufactor discontinued the propriatary
- cards, so I am stuck at my present memory level.
