I am running ISC 2.2 on a trial basis on a 486/25 motherboard by US
Tronics (They are promising a 33MHz soon, and EISA later on). It is
looks like a cleanly designed board based on a CT chip set. It fetures
128K/512K external cache, Weitek 4167 support, 16M on board,
interleaved page mode design.
So far I've been running it with 0 problems. Whatever problems I had
in the beginning (a week ago) were caused by a defective disk
controller. I haven't installed X yet.
I am not sure about the pricing for the board alone, but if anyone is
interested drop me a line and I send the distributor's info.
