You've not heard of the Power Platform?  It's a replacement daughterboard for
the Model 70 (only the 25 MHz models) with a 486 chip on it.  Originally
introduced at $4000, now running about $2000 (less than $1200 with the
educational discount).  Those are list prices, of course, but I don't know
who pays list.
