http://www.pell.chi.il.us/~orc/memory.html has a bunch of them, for
one. If you're running a Compaq EISA machine, you're still out of
luck (though a reading of the EISA bios specs indicate that all may
not be lost; apparently modern EISA bioses allow 386-mode access, so
a detailed slot examination can be done when the system is running)
but these patches work on other machines, including the 80522/233
I'm running with 128mb of core.
