-Due to the 24 bit addressing limitation of the ISA bus, The SCSI
-adapter's onboard DMA controller is unable to access memory with
-addresses greater than 16 megabytes.
-.Pp
-This restriction can be fixed with "bounce buffers", buffers in low
-memory which are used whenever data to be transfered to or from the
-SCSI adapter is above the 16 megabyte threshold. The data is copied
-to the bounce buffer, then copied from the bounce buffer to its
-destination.
+This driver uses bounce buffers if the machine has more than 16
+megabytes of memory.
