I just read about a module available from Technical Specialists, Inc. vcalled
the SXZ-248 that can upgrade a Z248 to a 20 MHz 386SX for $699.  The article
sounded like they were referring to the original Z248s.

Does anyone know if this upgrade works on a Z248/12?  Is anyone in a 
position to compare it to the AOX upgrade, which is about $200 more, I 
believe?  This is getting almost reasonable in price, and if it works for
the Z248/12s, I may finally get interested.  Any comments?

  Hmmm, for $699 it might be one of those "plug into the 286 socket" thingies.
If so, make sure it fits your socket, either PLCC type or PGA type.

  Your best bet is to make sure they have a money back policy if your
not satisfied so that if you try it and it doesnt work or is slow as a dog
you can send it back.
