- A friend of mine is planning on replacing the motherboard on
- his machine. His current configuration is:
- 386-33 DTK motherboard with DTK Bios, 8MB RAM and 64K cache
- Cyrix 387-33 coprocessor
- Two IDE HDs (Seagate 120MB and Maxtor 210MB)
- Trident 8900C video card with CTX monitor
- Two FDs, ports, etc.
-
- He has been running AT&T Unix System V Release 4 (Version 2.1)
- and OS/2 1.3 and 2.0. Recently, he has been experiencing problems
- when trying to *cold* boot Unix (warm boot goes OK, once the system
- starts up). Testing (replacing cards, etc) seems to indicate that the
- motherboard is the culprit.
-
- He wants to get a new mother board which will run BOTH UNIX
- AND OS/2 without any problems. He has been considering an AMI 386-33
- motherboard. Could netters out there share their experiences with AMI
- motherboards? Are there models to be avoided? Are there any other
- motherboards which are better and are worth considering?
-
- Please post or email responses. Thanks a lot in advance.
