I think you are talking about one of the earliest Mylex (or AMI?) 386
motherboards. The reason for the 287 was that the 387 coprocessor was
not available immediately after the 386 introduction. I remember
evaluating such a product right after Comdex 1986 or 1987.

Subject: 386 motherboard with discrete logic chips only?
I talked with my friend the other day and he claimed
that 386 motherboards all used this or that chip sets;
But I vaguely remember I might once have such a 386.
It had a 287 math coprocessor and some memory chips on
board. What I can remember is that it had many logic
chips on board but I can't recall whether it had chip
sets or not. Unluckly I dumped it years ago... Could
somebody give me an answer?
