I purchased an IBM 55SX two years ago. It is a good machine, but now I am
looking towards experimenting with different OS such as 386BSD. I am now
trying to make a decision on wether to keep my machine and upgrade or get
rid of it and start from scratch.  I have two specific questions that I
would appreciate any info or advice on.

1) Is it possible to upgrade an IBM ps2 55SX from a 386SX to a full 32 bit
386 or even a 486? I have seen an advertisement for Aox MicroMASTER upgrades
and I am interested in hearing any comments, prices or other possibilities
for upgrading.

2) Is there a version of UNIX like OS for MCA architecture? The less cost
the better.  I have heard about an OS made for MCA machines by a company
in Texas named UHC. 

Thank you for any information.
