Hello.  I have a NEATsx 386sx/16MHz motherboard that uses a
combination of DRAMS and SIPP memory cartridges.  I have it configured
with 4 1Meg/80ns SIPP cartridges.

My situation: I would like to upgrade the motherboard to something
that's a little faster, but I don't think I'll have enough money to
buy a motherboard and new memory.

Question 1: Are there motherboards (386DX/any 486) that use SIPP
cartridges that I might be able to purchase?

Question 2: If not, can I remove the pins from my SIPP's and use them
as SIMM's?

Thanks a million!
