Intel Inboard 386

Intel Inboard 386/AT and Intel Inboard 386/PC were 1980s ISA boards which allowed to upgrade respectively an IBM AT or an IBM PC computer into Intel 80386 machines.

The board was a full length ISA expansion card that came with a 386 processor (16 MHz), an 80387 math coprocessor socket and 1 MB of RAM. 2MB and 4MB memory expansion options were also available. The board was activated after the regular XT/AT BIOS had finished its POST (Power-on self test) routines and the OS had loaded the Intel DOS based .sys device drivers (from config.sys).
