I don't have direct experience, but AT&T sells (sold?) an upgrade kit
to upgrade a PC 6300 to a PC 6300 PLUS, which is their 80286-based
machine.  It's essentially a swap of the entire system board.  You
get to keep the video controller, power supply, cabinet, disks,
keyboard, and any add-in boards in the slots.  As I recall, the price
was less than buying a whole new PC 6300 PLUS, but I didn't think it
was enough less to be worth doing.  Better to have two machines after
paying for two, than one machine after paying for one and a half.
