I need some recommendations for a good 386SX motherboard in terms of
manufacturer and distributor/dealer (can be mail order). Here are my
criteria:
Expandable to 8 Mb (in SIMMs)
LIM EMS 4.0 support in hardware
Phoenix BIOS
8 slots (6 AT, 2 XT)
Bus configurable at 8 or 16 MHz
80287 or 80387SX support
1 year (or longer) warranty
NEAT Chip Set by Chips & Technology
In a nut shell, I want a good quality board. Also, does anybody know if
memory boards such as the AST RamPage Plus 286 has a problem with 386SX
boards? I would like to put as much memory as possible in the machine since
it will most likely be dedicated to SCO Xenix 386.
I am willing to sacrifice the memory upgradability if an AST RamPage Plus 286
will work in a 386SX with NO problems at all.
