[poster looking for 5-slot 80286 replacment motherboard to upgrade
5-slot 8088 machine]

They exist.  There is a 5-slot board called variously Bullet or
Wavemate, which fits your machine. It is kind of a hybrid with only
8-bit slots and a 4.77 HZ buss (so your slow PC cards work, they
say). It accepts 1 meg of ram and devotes the excess 384 K to 
HD caching. It allows use of the original PC keyboard.  One source
is DP computers in alt Lake City, Utah (see their ad in Computer
Shopper).  Hauppage's '386 motherboards also come 5-slot models.
There may be other 5-slot models that I'm unaware of.

Have not used any of the above but have called DP, and have received
a reply from someone who used their board and was satisfied with it
as an interim solution.
