I'm looking for the ISA version of the IBM Cluster Adapter. (There was a PCjr version as well.)
The IBM Cluster Adapter was an IBM networking product for PCs, XTs, and ATs before Token Ring became popular. It connected up to 63 machines to a file server, which was usually an XT or AT. Cabling was 75 Ohm coaxial. Cards can be identified by 8 or so DIP switches used to set the ID, and one DIP switch used to enable/disable remote IPL.
IBM part numbers are 1501206 or 6323472.
This card seems to be really hard to find, which is why I'm asking here .. if you know of a good place to check for one of these, let me know!
Thanks,
Mike
