        I am looking into buying an EISA machine with a bus-mastering
EISA SCSI contoller (Ultrastor or Adaptec). Coupla questions:

        1) Will this work even though it is not ISA?
        2) How much coding would be needed to make linux take advantage
           of an EISA bus?
        3) Do the present SCSI drivers support DMA?
        4) Is there an EISA channel on the mailing list?
        5) Is there a SCSI channel on the mailing list?
                      ^
              Had to add the extra space so everything lined up ;-)

        6) Is SCSI better than IDE if you have an intelligent controller?
        7) What other SCSI devices have people used with linux?

                        Thanx for all responses
