Mine is a snap on for the surface mount boards, just fits down over the
SMC 386.

Kingston makes a turbochip for the socketed 386's but I'm not sure if they
have a version for the surface mounts that don't have an upgrade socket.
They have full info and docs on their website.

I have on of the upgrades for 386sx to 486slc. It is an evergreen design,
but only
works with certain steppings of the 386sx chip.

Does anyone have any of the 386 to 486 upgrades
that plug
into the 386DX socket, usually using the TI 486SLC? I know Evergreen
made such a beast, and in fact one just went up for sale on eBay.
Does anyone have one they'd like to part with?
Did TI make a 486SLC too? I thought that was an IBM-exclusive design. it could have been Dad, and not the chip ;-) but
we seemed to upgrade only
when Dad destroyed the computer. The 386 went up in smoke, so Dad got a
486DX/40, and then that literally burned down (the board one day just
started
to warp and black wisps came out the cooling
vents), so we got the P75.
;-)
The K2-450 they have now was because of Y2K
fears, which turned out to be
unfounded, so my little sister has the P75. When she gets sick of it, I'll
use it to play old DOS games that Virtual PC doesn't like.
