Wells-American is of course defunct. However, their service
contracts were taken over by CompuSciences, Inc. 151A Riverchase Way,
Lexington SC. I know that they have at least 1 extra 386-16 module,
since I recently fried mine and they swapped it for a reasonable fee.
Presumably they have others, though at the time of their bankruptcy,
the 386-20 upgrade was $2495. You can get a generic 386SX system with
hard disk and monitor for that price now. (Hey, memory was $610 a megabyte
then too, back in 1988.) Still, I love that 4 floppy, 2 hard drive
tower.
