I have a 386/20 + 64K cache mini-AT size motherboard made by AMI about two years ago. The motherboard has no memory; up to 8MB of 1MB DIP memory can be placed on a card that plugs into a 32-bit bus. The board came with 4MB and I would like to upgrade it to 8MB, but the company that sold me the board has disappeared or moved and I was never able to get docs on the board out of them. The memory board has a single DIP switch with three switches on it. I played with these without blowing up anything but wasn't able to do anything useful.

Yea Mike, Make me an offer on my one remaining 8-Meg BocaRAM card. This is a 16-bit add-on card which is fully loaded with 8 megs of 100nS RAM. It is 5 months old, and has a 5 year warranty. It works as conventional, extended or expanded depending on how you set it up! It comes with software drivers on a 5 1/4 disk. I had 2, the first sold for $375. What do you think? *Marshall*

The reason is not only the 32 bit wide data bus but it is running at 20mhz vs the ISA bus's 8 to 12mhz. If I were Mike, I would wait for someone to say, "Yes, I have one of those. All you need to do is..." Mike seemed to imply that the motherboard was made by AMI (the MOTHERBOARD, not the _BIOS_). AMI is still alive and well, and is easy to get ahold of-- but the phone number is not at hand right now...
