So I am a bit of a Microchannel noob. But I got my first couple IBM PS/2 Microchannel machines yesterday in a huge lot of stuff.
I got Model 9577, Model 8560, and 2 P70s. But it was the boxes of parts that were really curious. Looks like alot of parts for machines I didn't get sadly.
But anyways, the topic at hand is something called the XTEND Microproducts Renaissance 486. Which is a curious upgrade card.
What I'm wondering, is does anyone have any documentation, software, or any information regarding this thing. So far the only information I can find is from Google book copies of InfoWorld magazine.
I'd like to be able to use it. Someone wrote M50/60 on it. So I'm assuming that means it can work in a Model 60? Be nice since the model 60s CPU and RAM are missing.
Here are some pictures of the card, and in the box it came with a bunch of XTEND adapters that don't seem to fit with this card.
