 There's just been **another** post claiming that DTK motherboards are to
be avoided. I have only one connection with DTK .. I own one of their
motherboards. I have had no trouble with it to speak of, and I have several
times asked this group to give an actual instance of a DTK motherboard
problem. I've never received a response.

 The recent post said their motherboards are 'incompatible'. If this is
referring to the BIOS, all I can say is that I've run Windows 3, Excel,
Corel, Norton, Fastback, QEMM, and some other homebrew stuff and never
seen any problems. I've never tried booting my Unix system on that box, but
short of doing that I can't imagine what else I could do to it to give it
a chance to fail. Please, if you post incriminating remarks, post some
some specifics. Passing along 'urban legends' isn't doing anyone any good.
