There are now a number of high performance 80386 motherboards in
use in personal computers. Some of these machines have the Intel
cache controller chip, and 32 to 64k of 30ns ram. Cacheing software
for MsDos is available for those users. 

My question is, is this cache controller usaeble by any of the
Unix - Xenix kernels? Does'nt the kernel have to know about it
in order to use it? Do any of Microport, SCO, Interactive
support the chip? Would one be wasting ones money to buy a
machine with a cache controller that would be running Xenix?
