I too was looking for a 386SX motherboard a couple of months ago, but was
told repeatedly by different mail-order houses that due to short supply
of the 386SX mb, they are only selling SX as a system.  One guy said
that the big japanese firms are snatching up the SX mb's.  Does anyone 
know if the SX mb is still in short supply and is the japanese thing
true?

Thanks in advance
