I need a new motherboard (probably 386DX-40) and I have heard rumors
that some motherboards are having timing problems when supporting DMA
transfers mastered by some controllers (for example transfers done by
the Adaptec 1542).

I am looking for the following info:

1. Are there known problems with a particular MFG/board?
2. Is there any way to test this using Adaptec 1542 under DOS?

If you have any experience with a particular mother/controller combo
doing DMA I'd like to hear from you.

Please mail to: zdenek@ksr.com

Thanks a lot,
