I understand that at this years Comdex, there was a board for a PS/2 that
interfaced to a Intel 860 through the micro channel. Does anyone have any
information about this board?
1) what is the availability of the board for prototype work?
2) is there a development environment for the board other than the normal
   one for the 860?
3) what version of Unix will run on the 860 on this board?
4) does the 860 interface directly to a disk drive or via the main processor?
   can the 2 processors share the same drive?
5) will LMX, the LAN manager for Unix, be supported for this board?
6) who is the product manager for the 860 and what is the PM's net address?
   is there someone else to contact about this board?

Thanks
