I have had a DTK motherboard for almost a year now and I have been very
happy with it.  I use windows 3.0 and a memory manager that use protected
mode and have not had any problem with going in or out of protected mode.
Since DTK make 5 or 6 386 motherboards are there certain ones which have a
problem?  I did not do anything special for installation.  

I have the 386-25MHz PEMM board with 64k cache memory and it has run
everything that I have tried to run on it.

Just a satisfied customer.
