Well, about 2 months ago, I posted this very same question. My question
was... can I simply replace the i286 chip with a 10 or 12 Mhz version?
I know where I can get those chips for damn cheap prices and it'd be the
easiest way I know to get the speed up to reasonable levels.  Does anybody
know or have a friend who would know whether this is feasible?


Any input is appreciated.
