Subject: Re: 386 upgrade cpus?
The upgrades for the '386 types were typically
486DLC thingies that
claimed
to be a '486 but looked like and fit in the place
of a '386. They
also had
no internal math processor.
The '286's weren't so easily upgraded, but there were 20 and 25 MHz
CMOS
(Harris) versions that were pretty popular.
I have an IBM PS2 Model 30 with a Hypertec 386 Accelerator in it. It's a
card with a surface mounted 386SX-16 and it has a mating adapter that
fits into the 286 CPU Slot. Works pretty well.
