My experience with the TYAN Tomcat IV is similar to yours. Of three
systems I've assembled, only one operates reliably. The other two
get intermittant NMI's and various kernel panics. 

I'd love to wash my hands of TYAN and say they're junk - yet the 
dual Pentium II boards seem to work very reliably. We have several
and they are rock solid.
