VRAM denotes video memory, RAM denotes system memory, Cache denotes external SRAM cache, Max denotes maximum expandability.

To upgrade from 0KB cache to 128KB, you need to add 4 cache modules (28-pin, 32K x 8, 25ns). You also need to add a TAG module (8K x 8, 20 ns SRAM for 128KB).

Regular system memory is upgraded with Industry Standard 72-pin 36-bit parity SIMM chips. Each socket can support a 2, 4, 8 or 16 MB SIMM.

All machines came with a 2400bps Hayes Compatible data modem.

Video drivers for these machines are available on IBM's FTP site
You can download the Windows 3.1 driver for the CL-GD5426 chipset is at

The 487SX indicates the Intel 487SX math coprocessor. The P23T-50 indicates the Intel 486 Overdrive Processor (50 Mhz). Under installation notes, JXX denotes a jumper and X-X denotes its position (J23: 1-2 means Jumper 23 needs to be in the 1-2 position). These are the only processor upgrades supported by IBM for these machines.

All of these machines use a standard IDE controller. This interface should support any standard IDE device. Some Enhanced IDE (EIDE) devices (namely hard drives larger than 528MB) may be able to function with the use of disk overlay software, normally supplied by the drive manufacturer, but is not supported by IBM. Though EIDE CD-ROMs are not supported on these machines, a CD-ROM with it's own ISA interface controller should work. Any ISA card (CD-ROM controller, modem, SCSI card) added to these machines needs to be non-"Plug and Play" to help insure compatability. All of these options assume you have sufficient room inside of your case (slots and/or drive bays), please check this before purchasing any options. It is also advisable to check with the option's manufacturer as to the minimum system requirements for their product.

Phone Support for these machines is available from IBM on a fee basis over the IBM Club's 900# (1-900-555-2582). The first minute of this call is free, each additional minute is charged to your phone bill at a rate of $2.99/minute.
