Memory

30 pin SIMM 100-150 ns w. parity
Min/Max on system board: 512/4MB (16MB using adapter cards)


Riser Card


Earphone Connector Board P/N 33F4433, 57F2165, 64F0184 [P] [P]

J1 1/4-inch jack connector
L1 TDK ZJY-2P Common Mode Filter

Three conductors - Red, White, Black. The third wire is probably the PC Speaker audio line (disconnected when an audio jack is plugged in) or possibly a mute line.

Memory Expansion Cards

Limitations: The ability to use a non-IBM memory expansion card in the Model 25 286 is dependent on the flexibility of the card in establishing its starting memory address. The amount of planar memory (standard plus kits) and the corresponding starting memory address is as follows:

Planar Memory Expansion Card
Starting Address
512KB 512KB
1MB 1MB +384KB
2MB 2MB +384KB
4MB 4MB +384KB

Memory expansion cards must support the listed starting address to properly operate in a system with a given amount of planar memory.
