	I would like to upgrade a XT with an accelerator 
board (probably a 286 type).  Can anyone recommend a solution
and source??  The main use is some spreadsheet calculations and
a little word processing.  The XT has a 8087 coprocessor which I
would like to be able to use as most accelerator do not include a
floating point coprocessor.  A key requirement is low price as an
expensive option would be buying a new computer. 
	Thanks alot.
