LN| Err,that is not the way it is heading exactly.  Guys have you looked at
  | the I2O initiative which basically uses an i960 on the motherboard as an
  | I/O processor off loading all the interrupt handling?  OS/2 has a driver
  | for it and Supermicro makes 2 models of PPRO boards and a dual P-II
  | board with one on it.  See http://www.supermicro.com/i2o/index.htm.
  | OS/2 is on the list with all the other OS's that support it.
For those of us without World Wide Wait access, would you be so kind as
to explain the ins and outs of I2O in more detail?  I have to admit to
not having heard of this at all before you mentioned it.
Cheers,
       Nick.
