According to the websites I've found, the 386sl is a 386sx with power
management. This suggests that a 387sx - or your Cyrix - might be the
appropriate part.
the web site is at
http://telecom.tbi.net/comphis.html. Intel, naturally,
has no information on the 386sl except about its year 2000 compatibility.
According to SupportTandy.com, their 386sl laptop takes a 387sx or sl
coprocessor, so I think I'm borne out here.
