I had the bright idea of swapping out a Model 25 board (8086) with a Model
30-286 board, thinking that the boards were exactly the same. They are,
actually, but the Model 30 board comes with a three-slot ISA riser, which
does not fit in the Model 25 case.
Apparently I need the Model 25-286 two-slot riser. I don't want to try
plugging the original 8-bit Model 25 riser in, I fear it will somehow fry
the board.
Does anyone have a riser card they're willing to part with, or know the IBM
part number I need to be looking for?

Even the 25-286's riser is 8-bit isn't it? It would surprise me if it
wasn't compatible with the 25's riser.

IIRC one of the differentiators between the 25-286 and the "proper"
16-bit 286 PS/2 was the 8-bit expansion bus.

That's sort of what we're debating here. Are the ISA-based PS/2s 8-bit
or 16-bit? IOW short or longer, 2-part ISA slots?
You could resolve the question - which does yours have?

Besides, the
16-bit PS/2s are 16-bit MCA, not 16-bit ISA.
Peace... Sridhar
Not all of them. My IBM PS/2 30-286 is is ISA-based.

Sridhar, I'm working from memory here, as I gave my Model 25 away,
but I'm fairly certain I had a 16-bit ISA NIC in it.
Remember that's the all-in-one model, and it was Different.
