	SOTA Technologies makes a 386SX chip that plugs into the
	Model 50 and 50Z.  I am told a 20MHz version is due out
	soon.  Because of the compact size of the Model 50, you
	will also need an adapter to fit the chip.  SOTA claims
	the chip will improve the throughput of the Model 50
	300-400%!!! (using the 16MHz version).  You can also
	complement this with a hardcache to improve performance
	even more.  Of course your hard drive should be able to
	match the speed increase.

	Good luck
	Gautam
