YES!!!  I booted "tiny" on a Fry's Electronics (of Redondo Beach)
$250 UTRON 386SX-25 board with 8MB SIMM in an old PC/AT case with
all of the original PC/AT peripherals.  No problems recognizing
my disk, WD8003ebt ethernet controller, etc.  I also booted "tiny"
on a 486DX-33 with 8MB SIMM and ETEQ chipset.  No problems.  I'll
install the full system as soon as I get time on the 386SX-25.
