Here's the story:

	I am planning on making a 386 system.  I know what to get as far
	as hard disk, hard disk controller, graphics, and other things
	are concerned, but I am finding it difficult to choose a mother-
	board.  I know that AMI and Phoenix are good companies for BIOS.
	But I need to know which is good quality, good for compatibility,
	and for reliability.  Problem is that I have seen both with negat-
	ive things.  Like the Phoenix version requires a disk program for
	setup, or like the AMI version has problems with motherboards.

	Please everyone, give me your opinions and tell me the REAL
	truth about Phoenix, AMI, or both.

					Thank you for your support!

					Yung D. Kim.
