some OPTi chipsets made in the past couple years appear to have
a DMA fault that shows up on faster boards (33+MHz)
those with write-back caches seem to be more susceptible than
other cahce architectures

the fault causes some problems with the sound blaster pro, BIG
problems with the Gravis ultrasound (pro audio spectrum(+,16) seem
ok though.)  problems have been reported with adaptec scsi controllers

We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming,
