MicroWay has a board that allows you to pull your 286 out and replace it with
their board that contains a 386DX and a socket for a 387. According to the
ad it comes in a 16 MHz and 25 MHz versions. They have been running ads in the
last few issues of BYTE.

For those of us whose motherboards/cases have all sorts of built-in stuff this
may be a better way to go than a motherboard swap; I seriously doubt if I can
find a 386 motherboard that has all that is standard on my motherboard
(2 ser/1par,PS/2 keyboard/mouseports, VGA, IDE drives, etc.)
