	I'm looking for advice concerning 386 (20-25 MHz) motherboards.  I
want to purchase a reliable non-cached motherboard, but it appears that the
big-name boards such as AMI and MYLEX aren't making them.  I've seen that
MICRONICS makes one, but I've noticed a number of complaints about
incompatabilities on the net.  

	Also, some discussion concerning cached systems and multitasking
might be interesting.  Saul Lubkin in the Computer Shopper has been
professing that most cached systems don't work optimally under an
intensive multitasking environment.  Anyone have any comments? or info?
