I recently saw a reference to a 386 PC motherboard from Intel.  Is
this generally available, or is it OEM-only?  Any idea of the price,
and where to buy?

Also, I recently saw (during a demo of Ventura Publisher) a Wyse 700
display and adapter, and was very impressed.  It has 1280x800 resolution,
a nice 15 inch monitor with excellent anti-glare treatment and that nice
slightly off-white phosphor that I've heard referred to as "eggshell".
There may have been a very slight bit of pincushion distortion, but less than
I've seen in most high-res displays.  Prices around here (controller and
monitor package) seem to be $735-750.  Does anyone have any experience
(good or bad) with the Wyse?
