Micronics Computers, Inc. makes a good 386 motherboard.  They sell both AT
and Baby-AT (fits in XT case) sized motherboards.  They're fairly reputable
and provide good technical support.  I believe they were fifth in sales
of all 386 manufacturers in 1987 (Compaq was first, IBM was second, Zenith
was third, and some other company was fourth), ahead of big businesses like
ALR, Tandy, and Wyse.

Call them for a list of distributors, 800-234-4386.  They are based in
Sunnyvale.

Disclaimer: I worked at Micronics this summer, so this isn't an entirely
	    unbiased view.  However, I did buy their computer and have had
	    no problems with it.
