Will the new Rendition Ready games such as ICR II and Nascar II work well
with a SCSI controller and harddrive. I really don't understand this DMA
thing. My current system, IDE, doesn't support bus-mastering by Indyfast
runs great with my Sierra card.
Thanx again,

You shouldn't have a problem. I'm running two Adaptec 2940 controllers in my
system along with an Reactor card - no probs.

The DMA issue has absolutely nothing to do with your hard drive
controller. Instead it is DMA across your PCI bus that the Rendition
cards utilize.

They work great with SCSI. This comes to you from a system that runs
ICR2 with Intergraph Rendition. (I don't have NASCAR2... yet.)
They're really two completely different issues. On some systems you'll
be able to run DMA to the Rendition video board but not to a non-DMA
SCSI or IDE controller - and that'll be fine. You don't need to
upgrade your disk controller at all.
