I'd stay away from DTK. I've had several bad experiences with their BIOS
chips and their motherboard designs in general. I cannot tell you for
sure if they are still selling the original 386DX motherboards they
did a year ago, but I can tell you they stunk - the kicker was - one
day I called DTK asking for distributors of their RAM cards (DTK uses
a proprietary edge configuration on their cards), and they told me
they no longer manufactured them, BUT, they still were manufacturing
the motherboards that used them. <?> That kind of customer support 
I can do without.
