I bought a Z-286 LP a couple of years ago w/ a Z-549 video card and a
ZCM-1490 flat screen monitor.  I would like to know if there is
anything I can do to upgrade this system. I'd like to go to a 386. 

Are there any motherboard replacements possible for this model? Any
other options? 

I like the monitor very much, but I've noticed an occasional flicker
that can get quite annoying at times. I've seen some brief mentions on
this group of a problem with the original (either Z549 card or the
ZCM-1490 monitor). Is there anything I can do about that flickering?

If so, then I suppose another option would be to simply buy another
computer w/out a monitor and just use the one I have now.  Will other
video cards work with that monitor? 

Thanks,
