    The DC-100 comes without Cache RAM, while the DC-100M has .5MB installed. Both will accept 8MB in 2 SIMM sockets. You must add at least .5MB (2-256KB SIMMs) to the DC-100 before operation. This controller will not co-exist with another. It emulates the WD1003 for all operating systems, and normally ships with a set of "SuperIDE+" utilities.
