The April 13, 1989 issue of EDN had a design idea on page 212 how to
replace a 286 with a 386SX plus some other logic. The "other logic"
consists of three 74LS373 buffers (gee, is LS logic really fast enough?)
one 74F04 inverter ,one 16R6-12 PAL, and a 20k pull-up resistor.
I guess you could make a small plug-in print if you're a good
"do-it-yourself-er".
The author of the idea is Al Weidner from VLSI Technology, Tempe, AZ.
(I have the article right here in front of me)
