In the corner it says PAT.
Iam guessing max mem on this boards would be 1MB.. Because it only should take 41256 Kbit chips..

Like the title already says: Is there any source that can tell me in which order expansion cards are placed in a XT machine.
Only knows from the PSU:
1. M. IO card

3. Harddisk controller..
And then i dont know what goes next.
I know that the order in which slot is...
IBM uses an frame around the floppy drive bezels for two half-height drive.
Does clone cases also came with this frame? And where can i get such a frame (it can be 3D printed if anyone can do this?)
How can i get one?

This is written on a page of the PIM-TB10-Z motherboard manual.
I like to know if this is true.. And what advise...
