    I have a friend who has found a 386sx upgrade kit. Apparently you
remove the 286 chip and install a plug in daughter board in place.
This board contains the 386 chip, a socket for a coprocessor (you can
continue to use the 287 if desired) and any necessary support
circuitry.

    I haven't seen it and I don't know his source so I can't be of
much more help other than to tell you that such a thing is available.
Probably you can find it somewhere in the Computer Shopper.
