I am running ISC 2.2 on a 486/25 board made by US Tronics.  I was under
the impression that most of these 486/motherboards wouldn't have any
problem booting up UNIX/386.  

I mentioned US Tronics before in this newsgroup and got few requests for
more information.  If anyone else is interested, here is their
address:

	U.S. Tronics
	480 Carlton Ct.
	So. San Francisco, CA 94080
	Tel (415) 875-6888
	Fax (415) 875-6868

Specs:

	25MHz or 33MHz 80486
	128K/512K external cache
	Weitek support
	16MB onboard memory
	Interleaved page mode memory
	Seven 16-bit and one 8-bit slots
