i think i might try to put together a couple of 386 systems for my friends and was wondering if there are any recommendations i can get from the net on brands & suppliers of 386 motherboards and cases/power supplies. i saw some recent articles on the mylex boards and was wondering which, if any, are preferable if i can convince my friends to eventually run unix system v. thanks in advance. danny chen att!hocus!dwc

I am using an AMI 25 mhz '386 motherboard with 72 DRAM sockets for either 256K or 1MEG chips of 80s chips so I can have 1, 2, 4 or 8 megs on the motherboard. This board runs dandy with SCO Xenix, ISC Unix and QNX. The Bios is AMI and there is no caching. The board is going for around $750 in PC Week.
