Now that I've received feedback on the Micronics motherboards (summary: great if you have the most recent Phoenix BIOS), I'm also looking for opinions on the AMI motherboards. Has anyone had problems with these for running UNIX. I'm interested in either the 25 or 33 MHz boards with cache. Also, anyone know anything about their (proprietary) cache design and its performance? As a separate issue, I'm deciding between SCSI and ESDI interfaces for my disk system, and would like to know about *real* (not theoretical) performance differences, and especially UNIX (esp. ISC) compatibility issues. Thanks! PLease respond via email (post only if mail bounces). -Peter (henry@apple.com, peter@nucleus.apple.com)
