baxter> Does anybody build 386 replacements that plug into 286 sockets?

Yes, but you should get one on loan first. Sticking a 386 in there may not
improve speed at all (as was the case in my machine), and if you have a 287,
it doesn't cooperate with the 386 at all, so it has to go. The net effect
here was that of two machines in the office, one didn't get a speed 
improvement, and the other suffered a speed loss after its 287 was removed.
