     @thomasfuchs I worked on Z158 and Z159 machines which were the same way. CPU/RAM card was a bit taller than a normal ISA expansion card as I recall. Turbo switch on the back. Pretty sure their 286 machine was also built on a passive backplane.

     @thomasfuchs I wrote that from memory before I clicked on the photo. Z286 was the AT version, apparently.

     @thomasfuchs I can actually smell the old steel parts on my hands coming through that picture.
