It's already been done, at at least for AT's.  The product is called XCELX,
from Ariel Corp.  However, Ariel is weird.  They refused to send me specs,
and they wouldn't even talk to me until I told them I work for a big company.
They even treat their dealers weird.

The XCELX includes an optional 80287.  The 287 socket 
has jumpers to select the 287's clock speed.  

I bought mine from a really great dealer, who throws in his own utilities
for setting and checking speed, and setting up yout AT in general.  I think
the utilities are extra cost.

The dealer's name is Bob Brown, Landmark, at 408 733 4035.  Highly 
recommended.

I'm just a satisfied customer ...
