Yes I have read the FAQ. I've tried putting the DMA buffer in dos space
which seems to work with DJGPP but the PLX does not seem to find it.
I've tried implementing XMS-API but it won't work with windows which
wants to reboot in Dos to run. And now I'm trying the VDS-API. I do have
the DMA working by stealing the buffer address loaded by PLXMon. I think
it's reserved by the Driver during boot up. So now for my own amusement
I'm trying to get the VDS to work.

Thanks 
Paul
