I just purchased a 386-25 motherboard.  I had asked for one with a
C&T chipset, but the one they sent has an OPTI chipset.  It seems to
work fine, and the company I bought it from says they've had no
problems with the OPTI chipset.  I've never heard of this chipset 
before, and would like to hear other people's experience with it.  
If I'm going to run into problems later I'de like to know now, so 
I can return it and get a C&T board.

I'm not concerned with OS/2 compatibility, just DOS, Windows 3.0, 
UNIX (coherent is what I will most likely buy), 
Microsoft Flight Simulator. :-)

e-mail is preferred.  I will summarize if I get enough info.

Thanks,
