- I too have a DTK 386 33MHZ MB and have no problems at all with running
- Linux or XWIN.... Check your ROM version, and will note that the best
- IDE interface to use with DTK MBs is the DTK... I had experienced
- problems with interrupts until I narrowed it down to the interface
- board... I would check the HD/FL controller be it IDE or not...
