That's what I thought, but I can't get it to work. Whenever I try and
reinit a (lower) podule version it reinits the ROM one. I've tried
*unplug dmamanager -1
*rminsert dmamanager 1

but, although this unplugs the system version, it leaves the other
dormant. If I then try
*rmreinit dmamanager 1

then *help dmamanager shows that the ROM one is back.

All this is to try and find out why my SCSI card is working at half speed
since installing RISC OS 4. I want to see if using the older DMAManager
has any effect.

Cheers,
