        [ motherboard question for V.4 ]

  AMI makes a very good, very expensive board.

  I have heard unofficially from SCO that they will wait for V.4.1 to
insure that the release is stable, and will add long names and symbolic
links to SCO UNIX.

  I personally will take V.4 rather than a hacked V.3.2, but that's my
opinion. I don't understand why a company which moved from Xenix to UNIX
to be more standard is now going to offer a one of a kind product again,
but they make money so they must be right (right?).

| Will it run on generic 386 boxes? Who supplies it?!? How much would it cost?

  I don't know if anyone is shipping right now, but I expect to see
three vendors shipping by September. They are all in beta test now.

| advance to anyone who can help !  

  V.4 is worth waiting for.
