Hi!
I'm planning to buy an 80386 25 MHz motherboard. I've found a few good
deals on Micronics and Mylex brands.
Does anyone have any opinions or experience with either of these two
brands? Both seem to have a pretty good reputation as far as I have
heard. So if anyone has any knowledge (good and bad) about either of
these motherboards, please let me know! (I don't want to spend 2K for
a less-than-wonderful board :-} )
Thanks for any advice/hints!!!
- Paul

If you plan to run XENIX, do *not* use the Mylex motherboard. While considering how to upgrade his system (PC Limited 286 with Inboard), a friend of mine found out that the Mylex motherboard wouldn't run XENIX. This is true *only* for their 25MHz '386 motherboard - the 20MHz and 16MHz do not have this problem. He finally settled on a 25MHz '386 board from AMI. I have no knowledge regarding the Micronics motherboard. Phil Buckland Computer Engineer psb@eecea.eece.ksu.edu
