I ran across a "Micro Five" motherboard this morning. The gent who
owns it (just the system board, not a whole system) tells me that it was
an 80286-based system built to run Netware. It has 2MB of RAM onboard,
and several slots for 8MB memory cards, and Ed says that the disk
subsystem lived in an external unit. The thing is huge - roughly 20" by
28".
I found only one google hit on it, and that was a post asking for info.
I'm not even sure why I'm interested - he's not going to give it up -
but I am curious about it. I'm especially curious about the memory. If
his recollection of the memory options is right, this thing supports
34MB or so. How is that possible on a 286?
