Subject: to DMA or not to DMA with SCSI
Date: 10 Jul 1993 14:16:01 -0500

I'm currently running SLS 1.02 Linux using IDE drives.

I'll be getting a big SCSI hard drive to serve as a spool file
for C-News.

I've read a good review on the Future Domain TMC-1680 SCSI-2 controller.

Does this controller do DMA?

If not, what benefits will I get by buying a DMA SCSI controller?

What DMA SCSI controller you recommend?

Thanks for the info!
