Just thought I'd let everyone know that GAIN Systems is offering the AMI 386/33 Mark IV Screamer (0K) for $1225.00. This is the board made by AMI and has the AMI BIOS (which I understand works great for Unix users). You can reach GAIN Systems at 1-404-446-2026. I don't work form them, but I've had a few requests for low cost sources of the boards. --- Michael R.

I have a question perhaps someone can answer. Has anyone out there
had experience with American Megatrends (AMI) 25 MHz motherboards
running ISC UNIX? The MBs use a Chips and Technologies chipset, the
HD controller is going to be a WD700V SE/2 ESDI controller. I have a
chance to get such a system at a good price, but would like to know if
there are any serious operation or performance problems with such a
combination.
Unless this is deemed a general-interest subject, probably e-mail to
the address in the header or .sig would be most appropriate. Thanks.

The only problem I have had is that once I booted ISC the keyboard key repeat was much to sensitive and made typing difficult. The problem is much less apparent when I use X-11, probably due to system overhead. Has anyone else experienced the problem with the keyboard repeat being too sensitive?
