I missed the earlier parts of this discussion (flakey news feed!), is
AMI the same as American Megatrends Inc.?  I have an Everex "OEM"
system, which uses this BIOS.  I have found no compatability problems
in DOS or SCO Xenix; I haven't tried OS/2 (hopefully I never will).  The "OEM" system is a lower cost system Everex builds and OEMs to companies to put their own name on.  Works well for me.
