So are these cards still rebadged NEC 720101 USB cards with a modified PCI ID? (They sell for $7 or so)
Does this particular driver erase RDB if you're unlucky?

Because dma on mediator is a hack.  AOS4 devs did not want to code that hack into the AOS4.  Hence DMA does not work on AOS4

It was proved.  Wasn;t just a text string in the code saying RDB.
 
There was actual code that would do this.
