re: PC accelerators
 
   I believe that 286-based accelerator cards seldom offer more than 
a 100% increase in processor throughput. You did not make it clear if you
were looking for a card or a new motherboard.
 
   If you are looking for a small increase in throughput (about 2X), 
I suggest you look at some of the 10 MHz XT motherboards out; they are VERY
inexpensive. Otherwise, a 'baby AT' motherboard will fit in your PC/XT case
and provide up to 12 MHz 286 performance.
