Lovely piece, wish I could afford it (already exceeded my budget for next month). I've never seen a new one before, is the '286 chip included?

I had 3-4 of those I unloaded on eBay, and 1 opened one I gave to whoever got my IBM 5155... Unknown_K? I don;t remember...

Nice boards for their time - Orchid Tech was *WAY* ahead of the game most of the time. I used their 286/386SX/386DX/486DX boards way back when for PC-MOS - '89-'92 I guess? They used passive ISA backplanes, and basically the entire remainder of the "mainboard" was on a card in a special more-than-ISA slot. really nice, SUPER THICK mainboards, super-dark-green. Impressive for the time, and look a heck of a lot better than boards made today!

I used to have one of these in my first XT!!! Oh, the memories...

It made Flight Sim run at 3 or 4 FPS instead of 1 FPS...
