FS: 2088 and related stuff

[Nostalgiac]

Hello,

I'm trying to cleanup a bit.

for sale is a fully functional original A2088 + extra the faraday chip (untested) to upgrade this board to an 8MhZ V20 (V20 not included); no box, and floppies are copies.

also included for free are a lot of ISA cards for free as long as you pay shipping, otherwise they go into the bin. up for grabs: soundblaster 16, matrox vga (unused with box), ethernet cards, adaptec scsi, fast serial.... ask for details.

It's A2088X model, correct?
And witch revision?
NEC V20 is the FPU of the A2088.
I suppose ISA card are 8Bits, correct?
Can you write us the price and conditions please?
Some pictures and screenshots?
Thank you very much.

No, a NEC V20 is a pin compatible but (about 30%) faster version of the Intel 8088. The same goes for the NEC V30 compared to the Intel 8086.

Check this.

thanks Jiffy - indeed, the V20 would allow to speed things up on this ancient board. The board needs the Faraday 'A' chip for that (included but never used/tested)

Revision... need to open the box for that, next weekend; same for screenshots althought those will be with a digital cam; I suspect it will be a v4 as I got it quite late (from new). It does work fine.

isa cards: had a better look today... might be a waste of space, 2x 8bit 3com ethernet cards... the others seem to be 16bit. I already threw several io boards on the tip-stack.
