There is a company called UnixHouse that has a system that includes both a 386 
and an i860.  They are currently advertising ther SVR4 product in all the
UNIX wrags.  If you can't find an add, send me email for the contact info.

Two notes:
	1. Their OS has built in support for both processors.
	2. I have never seen or used their products.  All the info I have 
	   is marketing hype.

You might want to try the Weitek abacus floating point processor.  Most ,
if not all, System V/386 products have support for that processor and most
386/486 motherboards will accept one.
