Hello.
Does anyone out there have any in-depth experience with either or both
of Mylex and Micronics 25MHz motherboards? I have heard that the Mylex
will not run Xenix. Does it have any other compatibility problems? What
about the Micronics?
If you have any information on these MB's, please let me know, as I am
planning to buy one of them...
Thanks much!
- Paul

Why not just buy an AMI 386 motherboard and be done with it? Clean design that works, with a real company behind it. And lots of memory expansion room, lots of slots, a real BIOS, etc. -- Bote uunet!cyclops!csense!bote {mimsy,sundc}!{prometheus,hqda-ai}!media!cyclops!csense!bote

But you DO have to get the right gate array chip to avoid the cache problem with smart IO boards or other direct shared memory boards.. Runs like a scalded bandit.. lots of users, lots of power... bruce -- ========================================================================= Bruce A. McIntyre, McIntyre Designs, Inc.
