[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Microway's FASTCache-SX

  I'm going to upgrade my Dell System 220 (20MHz '286) sometime soon.  One of
the options I've been considering is Microway's FASTCache-SX i386SX board.  
From photos I've seen, it's a 16-bit ISA card; the ad mentions a cable, which I
assume connects the i386SX to the 286 socket on the motherboard.  Does anyone
have any experiences with this board?

  Assuming that I'm correct about the cable, will the i386SX access memory via
the fast memory bus on my machine like the 286 does, or will it use the I/O bus?
I believed it was the former until I saw a photo; the pin connectors made me
a little suspicious.
