FYI, I have a Gigabyte GA486-AMS.  It has been rock solid with
2.1.0-RELEASE and AHA-2940 using both AMD DX4-120 and AMD 5x86-133
with L1 and L2 write back enabled.  I had to upgrade to the latest
BIOS to get support for the 5x86.

I don't know whether this meets Rod's criteria for a _good_ board,
but it works well for me.
