Yes - and I set ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to 0x00ffffff. It's not possible to
use ISA DMA with the Via southbridge unless you have main memory at 0x0
on the PCI bus.

Of course, if anybody knows a cheap southbridge with 32-bit ISA DMA,
UDMA100, and maybe USB, it would be nice to hear of it for future boards.
