Actually it is the Intel 302. The following is the full hardware configuration 
for the 386

Intel 302 with 80386 processor and 80387 floating-point co-processor 
IBM AT compatible bus
Western Digital 1007 V hard disk controller 
Wangtek tape controller
Intel iMX-LAN/586 Ethernet board or the Western Digital 8013 Ethernet board

That is the offical line from the OSF/1 Release 1.0 Release Notes. 
Internal to OSF we have run on 386/486, Dells, Compaqs and HP Vectras
with appropriate hardware configurations. 

Other contributed ports include 
HP DN2500
Intel i860
Intergraph 16-MB InterServe 6000

These "contributed ports" are provided on the Release tape as 
unsupported code.

please contact  OSF Direct Channel (617)621-8700.
