Ok, we just got a deal on a 486 upgrade for one of our 386 machines.

Here's the details

Micronics 80486 @ 25 Mhz Motherboard:
 + SIMM 256 or 1meg x9 memory (16 sockets)
 + Phoenix 80486 ROM BIOS PLUS v0.10 F8 (aug 29,90)
 + 64k of 8k x 8 -25ns cache

What I would like to hear is:
  - Anyone have one of these?
  - Any info on bugs/problems with the board?
  - Any info on bugs/problems with the BIOS? (note, version is 0.10)
  - What kind of software have you used on it?
  - Any software incompatibilities? (win3.0, telnet, NFS, etc..)
  - bus-boards problems? (512kVGA, 16bitWDether, IDE 120meg, 3.5, 5.25)
  

If anyone has a 486 with a micronics motherboard, I would appreciate
any and all info you could send to me (E-MAIL and I'll summarize)

This is really a retroactive post since we already have the board and
are just waiting on memory so we can turn the bastard on!!!!!
