 Asus                  PVI/486SP3*   This motherboard uses the SIS
                                     chipset and takes all the different
486 CPUs.  Like the Pentium chipset, the chipset used here will allow
many different external clock settings, so that DX2-80s and DX-40s are
well-supported.  The board has 3 PCI slots, 3 16-bit ISA slots, and an
ISA/VL slot (I suspect at least two of these are shared, but I'm not
sure which two), and all the on-board integrated I/O (no SCSI, though
the NCR BIOS is built in).  The board will take only 64 MB of RAM (in
two sockets).  The board is reported to work very well under DOS,
Windows (3.1), and Warp.

Setup tips:         None so far.
Possible problems:  None so far.
