I have built a machine based on this board recently. As added
components, I used a NCR-810 based SCSI host adaptor (the NCR SDMS
BIOS is already integrated in the boards BIOS), a ATI Mach 64 video
adaptor, a 3COM 3C509 ethernet adaptor and a DEC DSP-3053 SCSI
disk. The board has two integrated 16550 serial ports, a parallel
port, a floppy port and two PCI EIDE ports.

No problems during configuration and Warp installation. The system ran
fine so far with Warp 3.0 and LAN Requester 4.0. I did also test the
onboard EIDE ports for which an OS/2 ADD driver is available, although
I much prefer SCSI peripherals.

I know that one ASUS motherboard (SIS + Award 4.50 bios, don't know model
number)
has problems with diskette drive errors when running warp, that's all I know 
though.

I am using ASUS P54NP4 (with the dual pentium SMP chip) and Warp. I was considering
an AMI PCI/EISA motherboard, but it did not have the socket for the the SMP chip.
The final decision was based on this chip, besides the AMI board was more expensive.
As far as problems, I had none. There was a minor Warp installation problem, as the
driver for the latest Adaptec SCSI-II Controller card (2940 if I am not mistaken) that
came with Warp caused the installation to fail. An older copy of the driver (from the
Warp Beta) solved this problem.
I had no problems with the dual 3.5"/5.25" floppy, CD-Rom, 1GB hd, nor the 2nd 360 kB
hd. I am using the ATI Mach64 video card with a Nanao Flexscan F550i, and have 32 MB
of Ram, have yet to utilize the full speed of the 28.8 kbps USR Sportster.
Overall I have had no problems whatsoever. I am waiting for IBM to release the Warp
SMP version so that I could utilize that empty socket.

I've been having floppy errors on my PCI motherboard with NT 3.5 too.  It sounds like your 
ASUS board doesn't have that problem.  Where did you get the board and how much was it?  
Can you give me some info on it?  

Is anyone else having any problems with floppy errors under NT or Warp with a PCI Pentium 
board?  Mine is a 100.
