General Information
5541 was released after 5550-S/T/V and it looks like PS/2 Model 53.
(I do not know the inside layout of Model 53). This machine can't take any
Display Adapter other than the Display Adapter B-II as its video sub-system.
Model 5540-T Brochure
Reference
Ref. ver. 1.00 to 1.36 are based on JDOS.
Ref. ver. > 1.4x are based on DOS/V.
Ref. ver. 1.50 covers most 386 models such as 5550-S/T/V, 5570-T/V, 5540-T, 5530-T.
Video
Display Adapter B-2 was used for this
model. VGA chip is not provided on the planar.
Noticed that the display adapter seen
HERE
is not a B-II but more looks like V (AVEC). Don't know for sure if it's a B
(BVEC) or perhaps some member of the AVEC family.
(PS/55Z 5510-T, which is very similar to 5540, can be configured with XGA /A.)
