is there an ibm ps/2 with ISA slot or were they built only with MCA slots?

They indeed existed, although most of ISA PS/2s were mostly 286s

Yes they exists. The PS/2 Model 30 is one model, either with an 8086 or an 286 CPU.

and with faster cpu? i means exist with 486DX2 or DX4 (or early pentium 60/66) and ISA BUS? I want to replace my PS/1 (that have almost the regular expansion capability that a same period 486) with a more historically interesting PS/2. tnks

I've seen IBM with the PS/style case but they were not PS/2 they just were in that case with a different model.

There is a rather complete list of PS/2 systems on the english Wikipedia. I don't get why people aren't able to utilize the most obvious sources of information anymore.

you're right, I had read the article, but the scheme was hidden. now I saw it and no interesting ps / 2 had the ISA bus
