I am trying to put together a PC clone.  I would like to know about
companies that offer PC motherboard clones, expansion cards and
peripherals.  I saw some discussion of this in the archives but I am
looking for more recent information.  I would appreciate info on
prices, telephone numbers and your opinions about the capabilities of
the board.

I know of two companies offering such boards.  Have any of you used
these?  If so what are your experiences with them?

    1) The MPX 16 offered by Micromint.  Described in Byte Nov Dec and
       Jan issues.
    2) Model 64 CPU offered by Faraday Electronics (415-961-0600) for
       $495 tested and burned in.
