I vaguely recall that CBM was demonstrating that a Cheetah 386 worked with 
the 2088 to meet the criticism of lacking a 20386. The Intel accelerator of 
course may or may not work, so this is not much help. Is your seller close 
enough to arrange a no-risk trial? As for the ram: I'd be more than 
a little surprised if the 386 type of memory agreed in type or speed with 
the xt ram. You're in a better position to get the specifics of chip type 
and speed requirements of 2088 vs. 386. There ought to be a way, too, of 
setting the ram spcae on the 2088 -- but I'm not an expert on that either.
Good luck!
