Is this CPU upgrade adapter only for IBM PS/2 machines? I can't seem to find any info on the net from the model of it.
I have tried this in several 286 MBs that are not IBM and it will not even post.

According to the manual it is for IBM PS/2 models 25-286, 30-286, 50, 50Z and 60 only. No mention of any other systems.
Here is the manual for your 486SLC2 upgrade interposer: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1782

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
