	ASUS 486SP3G 486 PCI board, i have one with 486dx4-66.  runs 
beautifully.  ncr scsi builtin at irq9.   3 pci slots, 2 with irqs 10 and 
11, pci inta# only.  mine did not support write-back cache until a dirty 
cache line tag sram chip was added.  the addition of that chip resulted 
in a 10% speed increase.  (make world times: 30kSec --> 27kSec).

	excellent board.  i am very happy with mine.
