Motherboard is a unknown - 33 mhz 386 that holds 12 megs of SIMMS
and 4 megs of DRAM - for a total of 16 megs.  Right now I have 12 megs
full - and would like 16 megs - but I honestly believe that I won't
be able to address the additional memory.  Prior to this motherboard,
I tried another (it only supported 8 megs of RAM) - and this one appears
to be 5-7% faster.

Computone's drivers are being rewritten by a third party - so hopefully
they will work sometime in the near future at an address below 1 MEG.
If so, then I should have no problems installing another 4 megs in this
machine.

Are you running X11R3 or R4?  R4 is leaner on system resources - and
from information I've gathered is much faster handling video IO.
