IBM MCA 2-8MB Memory P/N 15F8292 Help needed!

[Sega]

Hello ya'll! I just scored an IBM model 50Z (286/10Mhz) . It was dead but after replacing a few caps in came right back. Unfortunately all of the cmos settings are gone.

It came with one MCA ram card installed. I ran the reference disk for the unit but it said it needed the additional files for the card. Where can I find these or what files exactly do I need?

The card in question is a: 2-8MB Memory Expansion Adapter, 16-bit P/N 15F8292 (see pic below) Any help is much appreciated!

Do you have the ADF files that came with the card? If not, http://www.walshcomptech.com/ohlandl/misc/80386_2-8.html has them.

You may also need a later reference disk so http://ohlandl.ipv7.net/8550/8550z_Planar.html has the latest for the 50z. I remember some PS/2 systems needed updated reference disks for revised memory cards but I am not sure if the 50z was one.

Thanks for the reply!. ADF files? not at all.
My card is supposed to be the 286 2-8 memory card (16-bit 72pin simms) http://ohlandl.ipv7.net/misc/IBM-mem-expand.html#1-8_Mem_Expansion , can I use the files for the 386 one? And I' am using the latest reference disk from the link.
Thanks again!

No, grabbed the wrong web page. Crud. Maybe it is at the bottom of this one? http://ps-2.kev009.com/eprmhtml/epradf/adfa_f.htm

I think you may need to make the first character of the ADF file name into "@" instead of the lower case "x"

That is one problem with the PS/2 MCA line up. No one saves the disks that include the tiny ADF files when saving the cards.
