- I've been inundated with responses that say "yes it works".
- Of the twenty responses, there was only one report of a problem:
- Clifford A Adams <uunet!polaris.unm.edu!caadams> reported that the
- OPTI 386WB motherboards used with 3-chips SIMMS caused "general
- protection" faults under linux, although turning off the external
- cache solved with problem (with a 30% loss of protection).
- Thanks to everyone who responded.
