- Don't know if its the same Micronics motherboards which you can get "off-
- the-shelf" from the mail order houses - it might depend on what you are
- specifically looking for (processor, speed, bus type, etc.).
-
- I know that they will sell just a motherboard to _an existing Gateway 2000
- customer_ (they tried to sell me a new motherboard for my 386DX25 when I
- wanted to upgrade the BIOS), but I don't know if they will sell just a
- motherboard to the general populous.
