- The OPTI chipset/AMI BIOS combination is working for others. I'm running 0.1
- (and ran 0.0) on an OPTI-495WB with AMI BIOS without problems (486DX50 ISA).
- This combination is also known to work under Mach and Linux. You might try
- changing some of the parameters in the AMI setup. The default worked for me.
