For owners of 5-slot or 8-slot 8088 machines, there have been numerous
postings about upgrade paths, usually 286 or 386 accelerator boards
vs replacement 286 or 386 motherboards.  The former route leaves you
with your 8-bit bus and compatibility with 8-bit cards.  The latter
is a truer upgrade, but requires you to spend money on new controllers
etc. 

The question is, what 286 upgrade boards include video, memory (EMS),and 
HDC and FDC already on the board.  I know the Western Digital board 
does, although it has EGA video.  Are their other with VGA video?
