@F7FE.ADF "IBM Expanded Memory Adapter 0-8 MB XMA"
188-084 IBM Personal System/2 0-8MB Expanded Memory Adapter/A The PS/2 1-8MB 286 Memory Expansion Option is functionally equivalent to IBM's existing 2-8MB 80286 Memory Expansion Option (#8286, 6450609), but with 1MB of standard 85 ns memory. It is expandable in increments of 1MB or 2MB up to a maximum of 8MB by using 1MB SIMMs 85 ns or 2MB SIMMs 85 ns. "Optional 0-8MB Expanded Memory Adapter/A Cards (1497259, #7259) can be added to enhance system memory. Each card may be expanded from 0 to 8MB. Multiple cards can provide a maximum of 16MB of memory on the system, with one wait state. Refer to Product Announcement 188-084, dated June 2, 1988, for additional information." 2-8MB Memory Expansion Adapter, 16-bit

@F7F7.ADF IBM 2-8MB 286/386SX Memory Expansion Option ROM Images (from David Beem)
Scan from Cheers, down in Australia David Beem said: For systems with 24 bit addressing and 8MB on planar (like the 55SX), the older EPROM version prompts about resizing memory with a non-fatal error requiring a keypress to continue every boot. Once the error is acknowledged the system is fine from there. In this case, it is better to populate the last SIMM socket with a 1MB 80 ns module (allowing 15MB total system memory) in that case (or find someone to burn an EPROM of the newer version). The card's RAM is treated as being "Extended", same as the upper planar memory. I treat the newer EPROM as mainly having (other differences haven't been studied) the "OK, OK, just cut the memory to size & don't tell me about it" code. Cheers reports the older EPROM version as "Copyright 1989 V2". The newer is a double date of "1990, 1991" AFAIR & may have "V3". Never have seen the original ("V1", if such thing were marked) in the wild out of a half-dozen cards. The later version is on less than half the cards in that same (very) rough sampling. This card is excellent filling both the 55SX & 65SX (the only MCA 286/386SX systems able to use it & have 8MB of planar memory maximum) to capacity with Extended RAM. The 609 or other 16-bit MCA memory cards with software could perhaps eclipse it by supporting more than 8MB on the card (for something like the 50/50Z/60 models) or being able to split itself for Extended & Expanded memory. 19498 Errors With 2-8MB 80286 Memory Adapter H12398
Failing systems with the following:
Some 2-8MB memory expansion adapters may fail with a POST error of 19498-16xxx (xxx can be any number). This is a false error in systems with 16MB total installed memory, and can be corrected by replacing the memory adapter EPROM. PS/2 systems that support the 2-8MB 80286 memory expansion option should not be configured with more than 16MB total memory. If more than 16MB is installed, a 19498 POST error is valid and will not be corrected by EPROM replacement. If the system displays the 19498-16xxx error code, replace adapter EPROM with FRU P/N 57F2905. In systems with two 2-8MB adapters installed, replace the EPROM on both cards. The 2 - 8MB adapter has only one EPROM socket, located along the top edge of the card at location U1. A correctly installed EPROM will have its small notch facing left, away from the bus connector. Until the EPROM is replaced, a 19498 error may be bypassed with the F1 key, leaving the system fully functional. Factory Upgraded 2-8MB Memory Expansion, Front FRU 85F0480, P/N 10G3812
Factory Upgraded 2-8MB Memory Expansion, Rear FRU 85F0480, P/N 10G3812
Oh, it finally makes sense... The 2-8MB Memory Expansion P/N 15F8292 was probably upgraded at factory (the stickers are perfectly aligned) with the 57F2905 EPROM -AND- had a sticker to cover the original FRU - P/N on the back. I expect if you carefully peeled up the right hand sticker, you would see 15F8292. I've not seen any references to adapter rework or defective components. It appears the only difference between the 15F8292 and the later 85F0480 is the 57F2905 EPROM. Comparison shots of the 85F0480 and 15F8292 adapters:

@FDDF.ADF IBM Enh. 80386 Memory Exp. Adapter FDDF (old) Enhanced 80386 0-14MB Memory Adapter/A 49F5507 or 87F9819
The IBM Enh. 80386 Memory Exp. Adapter (FDDF old) totally lacks the resistor networks between the SIMM sockets. It only has two epoxy coated capacitors on the left edge (not three). ECA042 recalls the 49F5507 and replaces it with the 88F0075 -IF- 4MB SIMMs are to be used on it. 1MB and 2MB SIMMs are unaffected. Uplevel options 34F3011 and 34F3077 which use FRU P/N87F9916, replace option 34F2811 which used FRU P/N 34F2825. This is done as a precautionary measure due to the possibility of undetected data modification with 4MB SIMM(s) installed on this adapter. FDDF (old, patched) Enhanced 80386 0-14MB Memory Adapter/A P/N 34F3011 FRU 87F9916 - PCB is 34F3053 Jelte sent this in. J1 and J2 were filled with 2MB 80 ns SIMMs, P/N 65X5806, FRU 92F0103.
From my stash, no jumper wires, but diagonal wirewound resistors. Jelte's card has the equivalent resistor connected across pins of U21-U24, plus more rework. I must czech my card's PCB FRU against his, mine might have a downlevel PCB, lacking the changes to inner PCB traces. Or, maybe not. It is an IBM thing...
Systems which have the Enhanced 80386 Memory Expansion adapter installed (FRU P/N 34F2825) may also experience OS/2 TRAP Errors if the Enhanced 80386 Memory Adapter does not have resistors located diagonally across the modules located in positions U21, U22, U23, AND U24. RETAIN RECORD #H037481 should be referenced for additional details. H035585 Capacitors May Obstruct SIMM Placement On Adapter A few Enhanced 80386 Memory Option Adapters may have capacitors obstructing SIMM placement. SIMMs which are not fully seated can create intermittent memory failures. If a capacitor prevents proper SIMM placement in connectors J2, J3 or J4:
J2: Gently bend C3 45 degrees to the right of J2 Note: This applies ONLY to the 80386 Memory Expansion Adapters with capacitors under the RIGHT end of a SIMM connector. All later versions have relocated the capacitors from under the RIGHT end of SIMM connectors to the RIGHT of the SIMM connectors. FDDF (new) Enhanced 80386 0-14MB Memory Adapter/A 88F0075
Same layout as the FDDE with 3x teardrop capacitors on left, resistor networks between SIMM sockets, and the two Delay Networks moved from a vertical orientation (right of the single SIMM socket) to a horizontal orientation to the left of U50. The only way you can distinguish the new FDDF from the FDDE is a single WHITE SIMM socket on the upper right of the FDDF. Looking at Jelte's downlevel FDDF with all white SIMM sockets, maybe this is why the last FDDF revision had one white socket, since the original FDDF had black sockets, one uplevel card had all white sockets, so a way to differentiate the newest version was to have three black and one white SIMM socket. YMMV... Note: The FDDF card supports enabling or disabling Matched Memory. "Matched Memory Cycles" Note: Further meditations on "The Micro Channel Architecture Handbook" leaves me with the impression that the MMC is not limited to only the 8580-16MHz, the 8570-Bxx, and the 8573-P75. It says the system figures out what it can support. FDDE Enhanced 80386 0-14MB Memory Option 88F0075 / 95F1155

2-14mem.exe Files for 2-14MB 80386 Memory Expansion Adapter
The IBM Enhanced 80386 Memory Option (FDDE) has the resistor networks between the SIMM sockets, three epoxy coated capacitors to the left of the three SIMM sockets, two horizontally aligned delay transformers to the left of 49F5505, an 8K EEPROM (U4) and the upper right SIMM socket is BLACK.
Which makes me wonder which came first. My Pocket Reference sez:
Look below for the latest Enhanced memory adapter update - BOPT103.EXE, it will update SC.EXE and the BIOS ROM on your adapter. BOPT103.EXE - Upgrade SC.EXE and ADF/ROM (>16MB in a 70/80) bopt103.exe BOPT103 Upgrade (IMA) Note: Your Reference Diskette MUST be:
Reference Diskette update is most easily accomplished on a system with two 3.5 floppy drives. If a single drive is used, diskette swapping is required (may be as high as 55 swaps). In order for the new Enhanced Memory Adapter to boot up there must be at least 1Meg of "free" memory below the 16 Meg limit. If the sum of system planar memory and any non-Enhanced Memory Adapter system memory is 16 Meg or more, you must move some of that memory to the Enhanced Memory Adapter (or remove it from your system) in order to use the new Enhanced Memory adapter. What does bopt103.exe do? Peter Wendt woolgathers: In simple words the BOPT workaround asks you to install a maximum of 15MB on the systemboard and the FDDE card leaving a 1MB "addressing gap" for the memory on the FDDF card. This results in a total of 31MB in the best case. Don't know if a second FDDF card is also supported, but I don't think so. The better choice is to forget about the FDDE and FDDF cards and use e.g. a Kingston KTM-64000 or Acculogic SIMMply RAM 32-bit card that have own memory mapper and error-detection logic. I have the Acculogic in one of my Model 80-A31 and have a total of 40MB installed. The KTM should be able to push the memory up to 64MB (8MB on the planar - 3 x 16MB + 1 x 8MB on the card) - but I haven't got the chance to test that. The Acculogic supports only 8MB modules. Updated SC.EXE, Initializers, Active ROM From WBST: It was with particular regard to the need to a) prioritize Track-0 Initializers (because of the Intel Above Boards) and b) provide an update to SC.EXE to cater for the new keywords and their parameters and also a new ADP multiple invocation call type and entry and return parameter list structure, to facilitate successful memory expansion additions without the need for POST ROMs or Track-0 (pre-boot, similar in a small way to Intel's later PXE) Initialisers, as well as optimise ROM space allocations to enable EMS mapper window(s) and/or UMBs. I have *never* seen such an updated Option Diskette (ADF and ADP) for the Intel Above Board series of memory expansion adapters, plus the AOX and Kingston MicroMaster and MCMaster may require them, due to their much more complex on-adapter memory mapper, SIMM sockets and configuration possibilities, coupled with the ROM2RAM, Split Memory Area and Installed and Usable memory complement updating and calculations/limits of the various system units and their planars' capabilities and features. A further benefit of the redesign of SC.EXE and its ADP calling mechanism was to optimize the *required* adapter ROM address allocations to maximize the size and potentially reduce the number of free memory blocks within the adapter ROM space. These improvements were first distributed via the bootable BOPT103.EXE Option/Update Diskette (which could require an inordinate number of diskette swaps in a single floppy drive system) and later via the bootable XGA-2 Adapter/A Option Diskette with a much improved update process involving a RAM disk. WBST adds: It was with particular regard to the need to a) prioritise Track-0 Initialisers (because of the Intel Above Boards) and b) provide an update to SC.EXE to cater for the new keywords and their parameters and also a new ADP multiple invocation call type and entry and return parameter list structure, to facilitate successful memory expansion additions without the need for POST ROMs or Track-0 (pre-boot, similar in a small way to Intel's later PXE) Initialisers, as well as optimise ROM space allocations to enable EMS mapper window(s) and/or UMBs. |
