I have built three different 80386SX systems using DEICO motherboards.  All
of the motherboards were shipped with Quadtel bios installed.  So far I have
been quite satisfied with them.  The only problem I have seen so far
is an incompatibility with Microsoft windows that was fixed with an updated
BIOS.  The version that I had problems with was 3.04.02.  Quadtel bioses
dated on or after May 1990, seem to have this fixed.  I phoned DEICO with
a description of the problem and they upgraded me to a new version of AMI
bios, which I have no complaints about.  

The best thing to do is make sure that Gateway has tested the version of
Quadtel BIOS they ship with MS Windows running in Enhanced (Protected) MODE.
