I would like to know any advantages/disadvantages people have found in using either a plug in 386/SX board or in replacing the motherboard (eg which bits of the old 286 should work OK with the new board). This sound to me like a frequently asked question; if so, please could you direct me to the appropriate place to find the answer!
