Hi Net Users!

In the Byte Extra Issue (IBM Special Edition, Volume 15, Number 11), on page
11, there is an ad for a motherboard with both an i486 and i860 cleverly 
called the 4860 motherboard.  Some specs:
4M of ram (xpand to 64M) shared by both processors
8 EISA slots, 64-bit expansion slot, 1 parallel, 2 serial ports
The Company is called Hauppauge Computer Works
