Hi guys,
for extra video graphics capabilities and up to 1024x768x256 resolution support, I am offering for sale 10+ IBM XGA (-2 or NI, depending upon your viewpoint) MCA bus adapters. These have the BVE extension, not the AVE, so just install in an ordinary 16-bit or 32-bit slot as an add-on to planars with on-planar video. Server planars have BVE and AVE extension slots, so that's up to you.
Interest declared/pending sales for approx. 3 here and elsewhere.
£15 each, plus P&P at cost.

Excerpt from the ALET:
MACHINE REQUIREMENTS:
System Units Supported -- The IBM PS/2 XGA-2 Display Adapter/A
can be installed in any Micro Channel (R) Architecture PS/2 386,
386SX, 386SLC (TM), 486SX, 486 or higher IBM PS/2 system unit.
Supported systems include IBM Personal System/2 Model 55 SX and SLC
(TM), 56 SX , 56 SLC, 56 486SLC2, 57 SX, 57 SLC, 57 486SLC2, 65 SX,
70, 76, 77, P70, P75, 80 ,90 XP, 95 XP; IBM Ultimedia (TM) Model M57,
M77, and M57 486SLC2; 7546, 7561, and 7562 Industrial Computers;
GEARBOX (R) Model 800 (7568-D40 only).
All models of the following machine types are support:
8555 8573 9557 7546
8556 8580 9576 7561
8557 8590 9577 7562
8565 8595 9585 7568 -- D40 only
8570 9556 9595
The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A can be installed in either a
16-bit or 32-bit Micro Channel connector that does not have an
auxiliary video extension (AVEC). Up to eight XGA-2 display adapters
may be installed in a system unit. XGA-2 Display Adapter/A can
coexist with the following video subsystems:
o VGA on a PS/2 planar.
o XGA chipset on a PS/2 planar.
o XGA-2 chipset on a PS/2 planar.
o Up to three IBM Image Adapter/A or Image Adapter/A 1MB, 3MB, or
3MB 6091 cards.
o Up to five XGA Display Adapter/A cards.
o An IBM Display Adapter 8514/A card.
o Adapters that utilize the AVEC.

Display Units Supported -- The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A can
provide ISO compliant VGA and XGA application support with
appropriate display attached.
The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A does not have fixed resolutions.
They are completely programmable, thereby supporting a wide range of
display timings. The resolutions available to an application or
device driver are dependant upon the display attached rather than a
function of the subsystem.
The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A has an integrated high performance
VGA. As such, it supports all the VGA supported resolutions.
However, it can display those resolutions at a variety of rates,
depending upon the monitor attached.
The XGA-2 Display Adapter/A also has hardware attribute
support for Main-Frame-Interactive (MFI) text modes.
Also For Sale TrackPoint mice withdrawn (as I can't find them currently)
for those of you who know and love the IBM TrackPoint Mouse
incorporated into ThinkPad laptops, I offer a limited number
of PS/2 TrackPoint mice.
£10 each, plus P&P at cost.
Happy gaming.
