How difficult do you suppose that will be to find ? I
will soon be starting to research some Gigabyte MBs.
(From what I've been reading, the Q.C. on my prior
favorite, Asus, has been dropping steadily.) I'm
developing a list of other factors that I want -- such
as more PCI slots than the measly 2 that seems to be
the norm these days -- which may not be available on
what has been on the market lately. If that means
buying some older MB on Ebay, so be it. I'm hoping
there is some good discussion of MB suitability for
eCS on the OS/2 newsgroups somewhere.
