Why don't consider a 386SX motherboard? It's only slightly more
expensive than an 286 board. Then you will get an 386 system and be
able to run 386 software. 

Baby AT size is 8 1/2 * 13 inches. Hopefully that will suit your box.
So it did my PC/XT clone.

In BYTE, April 1990, page 130, there is an informative article on 386
motherboards.
