BACKGROUND:
------------
I have a baby 286 computer with three 8 bit slots, and five 16 bit slots.
I'm planning to upgrade my 286 to a 386SX. The problem I have is that 
most 386SX motherboard have only one 8 bit slot, which means I got to get rid
off all three of my 8 bit cards from my 286. ( modem, IO card,disk drive 
controller ).
 
QUESTION:
----------
Is there such thing as accelerator card which I can just plug in the 16 bit 
slot to convert a 286 to 386 SX ?????
 
Any help is appreciated.....Thanks
