 MR> The issue with ISA cards, incidentally, is whether or not they

 MR> DMA available to them, they limit OS/2's direct addressing
 MR> ability to 16MB.  Anything above that is used as fast swap space.

But if you have an adaptec you can use the switch /DBUFF on your driver to
become double buffering and so you can use the full memory amount. This will
slow down any disk transfer but tunes the memory usage up.
