Hello,
  Does anyone know of a 386 (or 486) mainboard that has cache, speed > 20MHz,
and USES SIP DRAM MODULES?  I am thinking about upgrading my 386-20 system
and would like to be able to use the 8 MB of sip drams.  I don't care if
the SIPS are to be installed on the mainboard or an expansion card.
I've called some mail-order houses.  It seems that most mainboards with fast
(> 20) CPU and cache use SIMMs these days, and some of them support 16mb.

  I would appreciate any information and answers to the following questions.

o What brand is it? (name of manufacturer or dealer)
o Speed
o Size of cache
o Max memory that can be installed (either on mainboard or thru ram cards)
o BIOS brand
o supports adaptec 1542 bus mastering scsi controller card?
o UN*X compatibility

Thanks again.  And I'll summarize if I get enough reponses.
