General information
5541 was released after 5550-S/T/V and it looks like PS/2 Mod. 53.  ( I do not know the inside  layout of  Mod.53 ).   This machine can not take any Display Adapters other than Display Adapter B-II  for it's video sub-system. 


Reference
 Ref. Ver. 1.00 to Ver.1.36 are based on JDOS.
 Ref.Ver higher than 1.4x are based on DOS/V.
 Ver. 1.50 covers most of of all 386 models such as 5550-S/T/V, 5570-T/V, 5540-T, 5530-T. 



Video 
Display Adapter B-2 was used for this model. VGA chip is not provided on the planar.  2003.02.27

Noticed that a Display adapter  seen in the piture is not a B-II  but more looks like V ( AVEC ). 
Don't know if it is a B ( BVEC ) or any other kind of AVEC family.

  (  PS/55Z 5510-T which is very simmular to 5540 can be configured with XGA /A.  )
