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.
