I recently came across some photos of an XT286 which I initially thought had an aftermarket motherboard installed due the presence of an integrated chipset. However, on closer inspection the board appears to be manufactured by IBM. Unlike normal 5162 boards it has no SIMM slots and four rows of DIP memory, totalling 640k. There are two intel manufactured ICs that contain what I assume would be the usual TTL logic, and an IBM marked PLCC 80286 CPU. The board is installed in a case, and I am unable to see the portion that contains the crystal. I dont know what speed the boards runs at. I assume 6MHz like a normal XT286. The ICs contain markings indicating that it was made sometime in 1988.
Has anyone ever seen or heard of one of these?
