  Does anyone have any information about 486 EISA motherboards?  The two
I am looking at now are the Cache 486 and the Mylex 486 - both with
EISA bus, which I want.  I know the prices for the motherboard are
around $3000 or so, but what I am looking for is anyone who has used
one of the boards.  Is the EISA bus reliable yet, or should I wait until
any bugs are removed?  What kind of performance do they give (both have
128K caches in addition to the on-chip cache)?  I am almost ready to
buy one of these 2 motherboards, but I haven't seen any reviews, so I
am a bit leery about putting out the money for something which may
only barely work.

  Please E-mail responses, as I don't read this newsgroup much.  Thanks!
