Different strokes I guess. 

I have had a system with a DTK motherboard since August of '90 and have not
had a single problem with it or the DTK BIOS.  I haven't had any trouble
getting any software to run and all of my hardware(internal modem, soundblaster,
Seagate SCSI controller, multi-io board, Super VGA card) have worked without
a hitch.  I have filled the motherboard with 4 1mbX9 simms and wish I could
go higher without having to replace them with 2 4mbX9 simms but I guess that 
is life.
