Now that I have results for XENIX 386 along with my earlier figures,
this is a final posting of benchmarks of the Intel Inboard 386/AT,
for both XENIX 286 running in 16-bit memory and 32-bit memory and
XENIX 386 running in 32-bit memory.

At least from the Dhrystone benchmarks reported below, we're well
into Sun 3 territory, if not beyond!  Quite amazing...
---------------------------------------
All tests were run on the same hardware and software environment,
with the exception of the replacement of the 286 for the 386 card,
under SCO XENIX 286 OS v. 2.1.3 with Development System v. 2.1.4
or SCO XENIX 386 OS and Development System beta test with beta update (6/16/87).
