We have many Compaq 386/16MHz systems with 2 MBytes of RAM.  To add
more, you apparently must add a piggyback board which is either
unavailable, or costs so much that you might as well buy a new system
(not a Compaq) with more RAM.  Is this true?  Is there any economical
way to upgrade these systems to 4-6 MBytes of RAM?  Does someone make a
clone product which undercuts Compaq's price?
