Ok, I applied the patch and it works for me. I don't get any errors
when using WorkMan though (with a NEC 4 speed CD-ROM player).
I found the explanation about the different kinds of memory very
interesting. But there is one question left, if you have an ISA card
(like the AHA1542 I have) there is a limitation on the DMA memory
addresses, they must be below 16M. What are these addresses in the
terminology of this discussion: bus addresses ?
