Micronics in particular. The box I'm putting together will be mostly used for SCO Xenix286 and eventually Unix 386. I intend to add 4 meg of ram. The following questions come up.. 1. Advantages to the 25mhz with cache memory board? 2. 100ns ram, or do you prefer the 80ns ? 3. Any problems with the memory interleave? 4. Optimum bus speed & wait states for the above operating systems? 5. Any problems with any particular MFM or ESDI controllers/drives ? to the 25mhz (cache memory) Any Email/Post opinions would be welcome. Thanks in advance. -- Toby A David Big Electric Cat Public UNIX ..!cmcl2!{ccnysci,cucard,hombre}!dasys1!hadji
