     I believe Micronics Computers, Inc. located in Sunnyvale, CA sells
piggyback boards that are compatible with Compaq's 386/16.  Back when Micronics
was a startup company, their first product was a 16Mhz 386 computer which
used the same 32-bit memory slot as Compaq's, so that Compaq's memory cards
would work in Micronics' and vice versa.  You might want to give them a call
and see if they still sell them.  I'm almost certain that they do.
Hope this help.
