[comp.sys.ibm.pc] XT height 16-bit Memory boards

jima@omepd (jim arnold) (03/10/88)

I am considering upgrading my XT clone with an XT form factor, 80286
based motherboard.  What is delaying my purchasing decision, however,
is whether or not 16 bit extended memory (i.e., directly addressable
beyond 1MB) boards are available THAT WILL FIT IN AN XT CASE.  This 
will clearly be required if I am to have any hope at all of running
OS/2 on this thing.  The sales personnel from both motherboard vendors
which I have spoken with have been unhelpful.  Both attempted to sell
me expanded memory (EMS-type products, e.g. Intel Above Board stuff)
which is NOT what I want.  Does anyone out there know of any memory
boards which fit this description?  Please email replies to:

Thanks in advance,
