In the case of ESIX, I don't feel the compatibility list is comprehensive 
enough, especially for motherboards.  I have tried ESIX rev.B - ESIX rev. D
on several systems assembled using no-name motherboards with good results.
However, they were all exercises to satisfy my curiosity.  I confess these
"exercises" were not comprehensive either (or even rigorous). But if you 
want ESIX's latest compatibility list, you always can call ESIX marketing
at Freemont, California.  It will be mailed to you.  I have done so. People
at ESIX marketing are quite helpful too.

What I would like to suggest here is that people contribute their experience
with different hardware using all flavor of 386 Unices. So that other then 
these official compatibility lists that you can get from unix vendors, we
here can have a net-confirmed compatiblity list for all 386 Unices.  Anyone
who wants to take up such a project?   Ideally such a list would be distributed
like the really helpful FAQ from virtual technology.
