I worked with many systems back in the middle to late 80s when the 386 was in vogue. I
don't recall any of them using an older 287 math coprocessor though. Here is a link to
a page full of mbs and DTK did indeed make a discrete chip 386 motherboard back then. The
co-processor was a 387 though.

Subject: 386 motherboard with discrete logic chips only?
I talked with my friend the other day and he claimed
that 386 motherboards all used this or that chip sets;
But I vaguely remember I might once have such a 386.
It had a 287 math coprocessor and some memory chips on
board. What I can remember is that it had many logic
chips on board but I can't recall whether it had chip
sets or not. Unluckly I dumped it years ago... Could
somebody give me an answer?
