	If you plan to run XENIX, do *not* use the Mylex motherboard.
	While considering how to upgrade his system (PC Limited 286
	with Inboard), a friend of mine found out that the Mylex
	motherboard wouldn't run XENIX.  This is true *only* for their
	25MHz '386 motherboard - the 20MHz and 16MHz do not have this
	problem.  He finally settled on a 25MHz '386 board from AMI.

	I have no knowledge regarding the Micronics motherboard.
