	Nada.  No other SL-type chips were made, as Intel then proceeded to make
*all* chips "low-power" of sorts (well, mostly), eliminating the need for
the SL.  To top it all off, the SL had some different pinout or packaging,
so there's no chance you'll be able to upgrade it since no other chips can
match the packaging.

	It was a very unique little animal.
