I've had several bad experiences with their BIOS chips and their motherboard designs in general. I cannot tell you for sure if they are still selling the original 386DX motherboards they did a year ago, but I can tell you they stunk - the kicker was - one day I called DTK asking for distributors of their RAM cards (DTK uses a proprietary edge configuration on their cards), and they told me they no longer manufactured them, BUT, they still were manufacturing the motherboards that used them. That kind of customer support I can do without.
