If we're going to do this right we will need to have a series of standard
questions to be answered.

Is this wholesale or retail? How much memory? Is it a pushed 20Mhz machine
or does it really have 25Mhz parts? What is the memory interleaving like?
What size is it? How many eight bit slots? How many sixteen bit slots? How
much memory can you put on the mother board? How much memory can you put in
via thirty two bit slots? What is the cost per MB for extra memory? Does it
have any built in peripherals (keyboard,clock,serial,parallel,SCSI,floppy,
video)? What BIOS (Phoenix,AMI,other)? Has it been tested with SCO 2.3.2? 
ISC 3.2? SCO 3.2? What are it's power requirements? How much cache can be
added? Compatible mounting holes? ISA, EISA or MCA?

I'm sure there's more. Anyone want to take a stab at organizing a standard
survey form that people can use to evaluate 386 boards?
