I see regular mention of an Intel 386 motherboard, but there doesn't
seem to be any well-publicised way of purchasing one.  I am inclined
to believe that this might be the easiest way to upgrade my AT clone,
given the physical constraints imposed by the Intel Inboard/386 (the
cable which plugs into the 286 socket is fragile and isn't guaranteed
to reach if your clone places the chip in an unusual place; also, you
have to set your motherboard to use only 256K of its memory, something
that I can't do on my clone.)

Is the Intel 386 motherboard available directly from Intel?  Whom do I
contact?  What is a reasonable price?
