I am in the market for a 386 clone, and I would like to be able to
narrow down my choices based on the BIOS.  It seems that most of the
advertised systems have one of the following:  Award, AMI, or Phoenix. 
Are these all good?  Which is 'best,' and what is the criteria?  Are
there other good BIOS chips?

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
