BA->The NorthStar motherboard can't do anything by itself - the CPU is on an   
   BA->adapter card, as are all of the various serial/parallel/scsi controllers   
   for   
   BA->peripheral devices - including the monitor.   
      
   Yeah, something that perplexed me a bit...   
      
   BA->FWIW, in the late 1980s/early 1990s IBM adopted that setup - CPU on an   
   BA->adapter - with their PS/2 model 95 server.  There were 3 different   
   processor   
   BA->complexes' available for that machine, a 486 and two different Pentiums (I   
   have   
   BA->one of each , all have 'issues').   
      
   Yeah, I think even IBM would admit their PS/2 line of computers had   
   serious problems!
