Summary:The Everex Step 386/25 from Everex Computer Systems Division (Fremont, California) is a fast desktop computer built around a 25MHz 80386 processor, sub-20 millisecond hard disk drive, and proprietary random access memory (RAM) caching. The Step 386/25's performance is due largely to the proprietary RAM caching scheme called Advanced Memory Management Architecture. Everex includes more static RAM in the cache than any other manufacturer. The cache can be expanded to 256K if the memory is expanded to 9MB-16MB. The system unit holds up to 5 half-height disk drives and can easily accommodate full-height drives. The base unit comes with a 1.2MB 5.25-inch floppy drive. The 386/25 has 8 expansion slots - one 32-bit slot for memory that doubles as an 8-bit slot, six 16-bit slots, and one 8-bit slot. Up to 8MB of RAM can be placed on the motherboard, and another 8MBs can be added on a 32-bit expansion card.
