- OPTi is at 2525 Walsh Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95051, 408-980-8178.
- To find out more about your motherboard, open the case and examine
- the OPTi chipset chips. Write down the chip numbers (might be
- 82C392, 82C391, and 82C206 which comprise the OPTi 386WB chipset).
- When you talk to OPTi, tell them that you want technical docs for
- whatever chipset you actually have. That is how I got the data book
- for the OPTi 486SXWB chipset.

- I believe the US rep for opti is somewhere around San Jose, California.
- You might try calling information. I have had quite a few opti
- motherboards and I haven't had any troubles. windows.. dos.. pharlap.. etc
- I'll try 386bsd and linux as soon as i can get the binaries...
