   Does anyone out there have experience with any of those AT-compatible
386 motherboards?  Especially regarding AMI, Micronics and Haupagge brands
as these appear to be the most popular/reputable.  In particular, have 
you had any buss or bios compatibility problems?  How does it get along
with Windows 386?  OS/2?  Unix/Xenix?  DesqView?  Would you do it again?

   The situation is that I don't really have the budget for a whole new box,
and a brain transplant seems like a much better solution than an InBoard.
Any advice from anyone who has been in this position would be greatly
appreciated; would you go with one of these, install an InBoard, or just
put up with your (6MHz IBM) AT until you can afford a new 386 machine?

   Please email if possible; I will summarize to the net.
