Hi Brian,

we are using the Forth i386EX module with CAN-chip on board. 

Features see below.......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forth 80386EX Microcontroller Module Features

     Intel 386EX 32-bit CMOS Microcontroller 
     Programmable system clock from 0 to 25MHZ 
     256KByte zero wait state SRAM (1MByte optional) 
     64 MByte processor address range 
     1 DIP socket for 128 or 512 KByte Boot Flash or EPROM (not included) 
     Optional 2 or 4 MByte solid state Flash Disk 
     Optional CAN controller for networking (Intel 82527) 
     2 64 pin headers with all CPU and memory signals for interfacing to custom board 
     In system programming of Flash memory - external 12 V or 5 V supported 
     2 DMA channels (included in 386EX) 
     2 asynchronous serial interfaces (16C450 compatible) 
     1 synchronous interface with high transmission rate (greater than 1Mbit/second) 
     6 programmable chip select signals - 4 user programmable
