Yes, a good test is to run OS/2, a version of Unix and Linux.
If the three systems work, the motherboard may work.
A VERY IMPORTANT suggestion: test your motherboard with
_all the cards you want to use_. I have seen motherboards work
fine until you add a SCSI host adapter and/or an ethernet card.
I think we should have a sort of recommended hardware list.
I can volunteer to maintain it. It would be written from the
experiences of the members of this list with different kinds of
hardware.
Borja.
