	I have 2 PC's , 1 running VENIX and 1 PCDOS and a Compaq also
running VENIX.  I have had very good luck with STB boards in all of them.
I run their color graphics board in the VENIX system because of its
no flicker static ram.  I run the Super RIO multifunction board in all
of them.  The Super Rio has 256 k mem with another 512 added on piggy
back.  It has 2 serial ports and a parallel.  Also a clock with external
battery (pen lite cell).  It comes with a software package called 
PC Accelerator (PCA).  This package has a print spooler and up to two
electronic disks.  One of the nice feratures is a soft reset which
will reboot the system, but leave the spooler spooling and keep the
contents of the electronic disks intact.  I have had a 128k spooler
file running, and rebooted CCP/M86, and the spooler still runs.  I have
found NO PCDOS package to not run properly with either the boards, or
the software.  The Super Rio has a metal bracket that mounts on the
back of the pc and holds the 3 db25's for the ports. It also has
a IBM type game adapter that will take Apple or IBM controllers.
The company is very receptive to callers.  I had a problem with
VENIX not liking the parallel port where it was, and STB sent me a new
PAL that relocated the port at no charge.
