        Now that I've thought about it a while, I was probably
thinking of the 486DLC when I typed that. I used to have a 386
motherboard that had an updated BIOS for the DLC, which was
pincompatible with the 386DX. It had the DLC already installed when
I bought it new and though it wasn't as fast as a 486DX part, it was
better than the 386's I had been running.
