I have noticed recently, a number of 20 Mhz 386 motherboards for around $650.
I recently replaced my 8Mhz clone(ARC) motherboard with the Jameco brand
386/20.  I put in a 16 bit hard/floppy controller(WD 1006-VSR2) and 80 ns.
SIPP memory.  All of the old cards(serial/parallel port, internal modem, and
ATI EGA Wonder) work with no problem at 20 Mhz.  The Jameco board has an AMI 
bios and I have had no compatability problems.  I have used MS Windows 386 and
Deskview 386. The two disadvantages with the board where, holes had to 
be drilled in the original case to make the board fit, and entire memory banks
have to be populated(with either 256K or 1 Mbit chips), which means 4 SIPP's.
Jameco has good tech support and a year warranty.  The board also works fine
with my 165 watt XT type power supply.
