Need more memory, can't find board

I have a 16 MHz Micronics MB which currently is maxed out at 2MB of memory.
Needless to say, my Unix system is kind of sluggish.
My hardware is obsolete (already!!!), and I can't seem to find the proper
extension board for my 32-bit bus memory card (see my post in misc.wanted
for an exact description of what I need).
MY QUESTION IS THIS:
Does anyone have any experience with putting some kind of memory expansion
card in a 16-bit slot to expand beyond the amount of 32-bit slot memory
installled? (yes, I realize that using the 16 bit bus would be less efficient
than using the 32-bit bus, but I expect that it would be significantly better
than nothing).
Will Unix work properly on such patch-work hardware? (specifically,
Microport System V/386 rev 3 with DOS-MERGE). I am concerned about timing
errors and such.
Thanks for the help,
