I'd say you got the CPU-board of a system that
normally
has a pasive ISA-backplane ......
I've seen these in XT systems but not yet in a 286 issue
(Headstart comes to mind) but given that Kaypro generally
made luggable systems a deviating formfactor could be
expected.
The Zenith Z-248 used a passive backplane with the 80286,
memory and all ports on cards. A 3rd party later released upgrade
CPU boards to take it to an 80386SX-16, with all RAM on the CPU card,
utilizing the existing backplane. The RAM and CPU slots were not
standard ISA.
