I have been using AIR for 486, and some $175 386-40 boards, both of
which run SCO, Dell, etc flawlessly. I have several home and about half
a dozen at work, and have sold a number of complete systems with the
AIR, so I'm confident that I'm not just lucky. I run 256k cache on the
486, 64 on the 386.
I haven't had any problems with Micronics or AMI boards in ISA,
although I'm told that some revisions of Micronics had problems.
