The 386/SX is a variation of the 80386 processor without the 32- bit
bus. This allows it to be inexpensively designed into new versions of
systems that previously sported the '286. (It's not a drop- in replace-
ment, however.) I'm not certain of current pricing. Volume production
should place it well below the price of a regular '386, which is the
intended purpose, however.
