- You're quite close minded. Whoever said anything about BSD386?
- But since you mentioned it, what about all the thousands of people still
- running Unix SysVR3.2 variants? Has IBM or MS pledged to turn this cache
- on with OS/2 or NT?
-
- I've read that this isn't an issue in mother boards designed for this chip
- as then the cache can be controlled via BIOS, however, I definately
- wouldn't recommened this chip as an upgrade to existing 386 systems.
