A few words on the tables:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These tables are not set up to cast dispersions on the manufacturers of
motherboards or their components. It is intended as a guide for all GUS
owners who wish to upgrade or replace their motherboards. As you can see
the lists are far from extensive and I would like to expand it.

Where the entries are marked "no data" it means that the data for this was
not provided. If anyone can provide the data for this, please do so. Details
of where to reach me are given below.

The reason that a motherboard is on the second list, is usually due to DMA
or NMI problems. The NMI problem means no SBOS and no MIDI under Windoze.
The NMI disabled problem also make the motherboard not 100% compatible.

As for my motherboard(s) they are both in the first list. My original 
was the AST/UMC board and now it is the ASUS/Intel board (or will be 
very shortly). Neither of which give any trouble.

Please send more details! I know that there is a large community of GUS
users out there and I would like to make this document more comprehensive.

You are quite welcome to mail me at the address below and I would welcome
any CONSTRUCTIVE comment on additions, content etc.

So thank-you for down-loading and reading this document, hope you find
it valuable!

Best Wishes,

Kieran .\\ Hoban.
