I recommend you replace the motherboard with a faster one, preferably
a 386. While you're at it, you may as well get a bigger power supply
and of course you'll need a new case to match the new motherboard's
card spacing.
You'll probably want a 16-bit disk controller and a VGA display/card
too. I also highly recommend a 1.2 megabyte floppy disk and a
large hard disk.
