Speaking of upgrading model 80's...
	I have an 80-071 (OS/2) and a 387-16 in it.  Is there anything I
can do (besides add more memory to avoid disk swapping) to speed the
damn thing up?  16Mhz seemed a lot faster several years ago.  I know
IBM came out with a 486 upgrade for the 70 -- is anything like that in
store for the 80?  I think IBM must have *something* planned, but if
there is, word hasn't filtered back to me, yet.  Is there a third
party upgrade available?  I'd like to go somewhere between 25-40 Mhz.
Finally, if MicroChannel is so great, how come nobody has designed an
InBoard type accessory, yet?
