Which of these items come with Unix drivers is not specified, but the product list with phone numbers should prove imminently useful for those who custom-build or hack their own systems. If anyone out there knows what Unix/Xenix drivers are available for these boards, please let me know and I will re-publish this list, showing which boards come with drivers for which versions. All products listed are supposed to be currently shipping. All these boards are 32-bit boards. Nearly all the boards listed indicate bus mastering capabilities. The absence of a "Yes" under the "Bus Master" column merely notes that bus mastering capabilities were not specified on AST's list. I have double-checked the phone numbers with AST's list. I can assure you that the phone numbers are only as accurate as AST has provided them. Good luck.
