Perhaps the right place to ask is vintage-computer-com?

They have an active WTB/WTS subforum for these kinds of things with lot of people knowledgeable about gear like this 😉

Whats missing in your collections?

I have an Intel Above Board 16 bit ISA card with 2MB of memory, and I believe it can be set to run in 8bit mode. There is an option in the setup for PC/XT, or AT machines. The software is still available from Intel's website.

I found it on ebay for about $30. If you can't find one there try vintage-computer.com as suggested above, or even amibay.com

Beware that some AST Advantage cards are XMS only, not EMS. I have one here that does NOT support EMS.

If you are squeamish, don't prod the beach rubble.
