I have a Xenix system and now that streams is available for it I was
going to get the WGE card. I have an Intel Inboard/386 with a cache.
Since it has a mixture of 16 and 32 bit memory, it would be very slow
without the cache. Does this mean that I am doomed to no cache if I
want to use the WGE? Bell Tech, do you have anything to say on this
point? Also when are we going to see X11 for this board?
